I did okay, understandable for someone with living experience in Russia, so I'd not expect even a knowledgeable person to score perfectly.



The way the last question is worded can be tricky. I knew the answer but clicked too quickly before reading the question a second time.  :'(

I had taken that quiz before.  If I had not taken it before I would have missed two additional questions.

Nadia got 33% on a Russian-ness quiz, my (Scots-born) 14 yo daughter in same got 67% by guessing. Nadia and I both got 'As British as Stephen Fry walking a Corgi' in a British-ness quiz. She was rather pleased with that.
