The 'Intelligentsia' in Russia has always valued the 'right to an opinion' as a mark of education and character. Expressing an opinion is seen as a moral act. In Russian business, it is often expected that you wait for the senior person to speak before you 'высказать мнение', though this is changing in tech startups. On the Russian internet (Runet), the phrase is often used ironically or aggressively before a 'hot take'.
