The 'Znanie' (Knowledge) society popularized the idea that every citizen should know 'interesting facts' about the world to be a 'developed' person. On platforms like Pikabu (Russian Reddit), 'Интересный факт' is a common tag for long-form educational posts. Russian schools emphasize memorization of facts. Students are often encouraged to find 'interesting facts' for their presentations to get extra marks.
