Guessing we're all just too damn youthful to remember the space-race liars, but I imagine it'd have all gone down a little something like this...
Rossiya 24, the Russian state news channel, were reporting from the Proektoriya youth tech forum earlier this week. There they found this hella advanced 'robot' called Boris, and proceeded to get v v enthused about its dance moves.
One in the eye for the Western Capitalist pigs and their inferior tech! Big up Putin, mother Russia and all those who sail in her!
Except... It turns out Boris was just some guy in a suit.
