Dial-up is not a reason of Opera popularity in Russia (you hardly find dial-up users in Russian big cities now, i live in a small town and believe me even here people play WoW not through dial-up). The actual reason is that there wasn’t any brainwashing with foxes for a long time, and Russians had a clear choice of what they really like. Now brainwashing’s actually begun. So fox has got a good portion here now too. Anyway, Opera is an important part of internet history in Russia, that’s why we still love Opera no matter foxy brainwashing going on in runet now.

Russia has a high proportion of users with dial-up connections. Opera’s fine caching mechanism and it’s ability to turn off images on a per-tab basis makes life a whole lot easier with a slow internet connection.

Why is Opera so popular in Russia?

Are there lessons we can learn, to help make it wider used in the rest of the world?
