It's Russia. It will be a dictator or nothing, it is their culture and has been for centuries.

Yeah-yeah. All Russian are genetic slaves and should be sanctioned, cross border naked and only on foot, except those who have millions of stolen money in bank account are definetly not genetic slaves, but honorary citizens.

That's not quite what I meant, but I understand how it could be taken that way. I'm just kind of sour because they had ridiculous strongman after ridiculous strongman in the Tsars, had a genuine worker's revolt, and then squandered it on ridiculous strongman after ridiculous strongman, then that government folded only to be replaced by a ridiculous strongman. The Russian people deserve way better than that, but it sort of seems like they don't feel like better is possible. I can sympathize, Americans are similar that way, and I think Americans will elect empty suit after empty suit, because American culture is superficial in the same way that Russian culture is fatalistic about power and corruption.
