Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity
Fun fact: As of August, the Russian board had distributed a total of 2850 merits, which is 741 more than the meta (2109), they are already at 1627 in September with 7 days to go I'm betting they have more merit sources than any other board, or the board is full of high-quality posters and generous givers. 
Боже мой! Maybe it's time for me to start learning Russian?
The language is similar to my native Croatian, and I already learned the Cyrillic alphabet as a kid.
Since January 2021, a total of 13k merits have been distributed. I'm not sure if there are any statistics to show how many members ranked up during this time.You're a good poster, you might end up with double your merits if you join the board.

I think it's a combination of both those things. It's the biggest local board with more active members than anywhere else. I just took a look at Rikafip's stats showing the members who were most active in the Russian local. Obviously we have all seen Ratimov around, but I have no idea who D-oN_ is (2nd on the list in terms of activity). Looking at the first 5 pages from his post history, all his posts were made in the Russian boards....]
Yes, they had over 7k+ postings in the last month, which is incredible and only goes to show how passionate the Russians are about their board. The Turkish and German boards are also keeping up with the pace.
