I could never understand one thing...
Do Russians see themselves as the part of western civilization? or not?
Some Russian - not very smart liberals and outright traitors do consider Russia a part of the West. But the vast majority - do not.
Russia almost the entire 20th century was the only alternative to the West on the planet, contribute to the collapse of the colonial empires and the liberation of oppressed peoples.
With the arrival of Putin Russia again assumes the role of a counterweight to Western maniacs, hard thinking that their destiny - to rule the world and plunder the people. Until Russia has regained its strength, but for 10 years she would do it again and will play the role of protector of small nations from the tyranny of the imperialists and the bankers.
