Is "oblivious" here just a polite way of saying "stupid". If so, I can well imagine the Russkies being the unhappiest people on earth, because they're deep buggers.

hehe...I don't know about stupid but I have to agree with
darje on this one, "happiness" and "living in a world of your own" can't be too far apart. "What you don't know can't hurt you". I bet the Russians would seem "happier" prior to 1991?
I was having a conversation with somebody months ago and we were discussing the same thing, that the people who seem the most happy are the ones who are the poorest, don't expect anything, and live in a world of their own. He mentioned the Brazilians and the Latin Americans in general, Africans, etc. ( The ones who tend to complain the less )
