Stranger Things S04 teaser angered Russians. In response they showed the real Russia (PHOTOS)

On Feb. 14, the official Twitter account of the Netflix series Stranger Things posted a teaser for season 4 with the caption “From Russia with love...” Fans of the series were shown the harsh Russian winter and prisoners laying a railway.

In the comments to the post, one Russian wrote that her country had again been portrayed as “a vast cold prison for bad guys.”
