Back in the 2010s, Egypt's tourist cities became a popular destination for Russians, and in just a few years all the hotel staff and street vendors switched from speaking English to everyone speaking Russian. It was very impressive as to what the promise of money can do.

Well, it's obvious from your condescending and insulting tone that you're completely right and I'm completely wrong, so there's no use pretending that it would be in any way valuable for me to present an 'explanation'.

Right? The article even says that the cone thing has been going on since the eighties, but apparently the council still hasn't learned.
