Ordinary Russian does not have much knowledge of Serbs - many people know about Tesla, Gavrilo Princip, blame our government for helplessness during the time of Milosevic, those who are older, know about Yugoslavia and Tito. Not everyone considers Serbs, Croats, Bosnians and Montenegrins different nations.
