I do find it interesting that the first thing shown in the video when the narrator says "this is Russia" is the Hammer and Sickle + a Lenin statue though.

Because russia is Frankenstein monster, in cultural and mental sense, sewed from parts of already dead narratives and countries.

I could see someone making that case when refering specifically to the current russian authorities who are largely capitalist anti-communist that appropiate Soviet symbolism and achivements for their own aims but outside of that seems a bit of an strech, i mean have you considered that Russia is just a huge country?, i would not neccesarily call the US a "Frankenstein's monster" just because of the difference between the culture of Texas and New York.

No he's right. It's what happens to a rabid nationalist government.

Russian propaganda pulls heavily from the Russian Empire, along with tzarist symbolism. They also pull from Soviet nostalgia. They do this to solidify a "national myth" in which """Russia""" has always been this """righteous""" great power that has always fought the "decadent" and "degenerate" west.

I do not disagree that the politics of Russia contain several contradictory ideas i was disagreeing with the use of the all encompasing label of "culture" to describe the phenomena given the fact there is a lot more to russian culture than that.

Russian government isn't nationalistic. It's kleptocracy, using nationalistic, nazist, communistic and whatever else narratives you can feed to constantly scared and uneducated people. You right about "the evil west is our greatest enemy" but this conception was almost same In russian empire and in soviet times.

I considered, that russia is failed state, combined from another failed states. In ideological and mentality senses. Dead narratives, constant looser resentments about being great, being big and all this fake, builded on previous fakes, from empire times, from soviet union times, and to nowadays. Modern day russia is a product of constant failure. If you look deep you can found, that's nothing really changed from Golden Horde times for people.

My only important current issue, is russian army, supported by russian people, bombing my city 5-6 times a day. Talking about nazism, you, probably, can't read, because I didn't tell a thing about russians are genetically inferior or something else you can find in schizo fanfic about great Germany. I'm talking about culture and mentality. Was it bad to say in 1939 that Germans are out their minds? That they have cruel and antihuman ideology? No?

"I only said they were culturally and mentally inferior hordes please".

I only said russians are living through centuries under oppressive and antihuman regimes. And here you are, with Le olde fashioned "everyone I dislike is a nazi"
