>>8025419>After collapse of Soviet Union, Ukranians had a very different history, forming their new national vision of future. Older Russian are still afraid of 90s coming back so most of would prefer to choose a dictatorship than an uncontrolled freedom.Well i think it's deeper than that. You see, every society is defined by the magnitude of injustice, both internal or external, that it is willing to tolerate.
In case of Russia, this magnitude is just outlandish, exceeding all perceivable limits. There is culture of nihilism and COPING. The utter cynicism towards life, rejection of any moral values. This "I'm a simple man" mentality. Mentality of endless coping and self petty mixed with the frustration that only brews an aggression, awaiting the moment that it can be unleashed.
When you see Americans here, they routinely condemn their national wrongdoings. They have at least some inner notion of justice, f moral right or wrong.
Most of the russians on the other hand would most cynically refuse to admit even shooting that fucking plane in ukraine, blaming anything but themselves. Even the fucking UFOs. And yet you can be sure that they know that it was them who did it, but they are somehow capable of this nation wide psychopathy.
The sense of justice has to have roots in the everyday life I utterly petty these people for being that much mistreated in their lives to have never gained any personal moral framework. I hope that this vicious circle of misery, inflicted by each generation to the succeeding ones will stop in Russia, but it's the effort that only you yourself can take.
