  • As a country they have inferiority complex about being behind the west and instead of catching up claim they are some sort of special holy alternative value system that they are better at but can’t define and when they do try (community, spirituality, destiny) they are worse at those things too* - By harbaughdyssey September 18, 2026 at 10:51:49 PM
    • Lol. They also have a vigorous internal debate about whether to be a "Western-facing" society, with progress, rule of law, rationality, economic development, etc; or alternatively to be a "Eurasian society" - By brick September 18, 2026 at 11:29:02 PM

      • legit question-can Russians freely leave Russia if they so choose?* - By ajs September 18, 2026 at 11:37:39 PM
        • Today? If there isn't a "mass mobilization" (military draft) that they're subject to and they can afford it, yes - By brick September 18, 2026 at 11:47:28 PM
