    I tried to delete that before you replied, if you don’t know then you don’t know. But my example is solid. Many great people in Russia though, not disrespecting that but only the system instead .

      Russia doesn’t have some kind of transcendental national character. There are very particular and specific holdovers from the USSR, but the Russian Federation should never be treated as a direct parallel to the USSR.
