Bedeutung
To achieve results.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Russian business, 'иметь успех' is often tied to concrete results rather than just 'trying hard'. It is a results-oriented culture. Being popular ('иметь успех у людей') is highly valued. Social capital and 'connections' (связи) are historically important in Russia. The phrase was often used in Soviet newspapers to describe the 'success' of the five-year plans, giving it a slightly formal, historical weight. Influencers and bloggers use this phrase to talk about engagement and reach on platforms like VK and Telegram.
