[quote=Anonymous]Russia has historically been ruled by men (and the odd woman) who ruled with an iron fist. They don’t have a culture of democracy, learning, or dissent. They were dragged into the Enlightenment era by an autocrat. Most of their accomplishments as a people of the last 600 years were copying the accomplishments of more enlightened European societies. If Russia didn’t have an endless supply of people or gas to throw at wars, they would be completely irrelevant. This is why Russia supports strong men- they make them feel better about themselves as a people because they have nothing they can be proud of. [/quote]
