From a non-russian purely amateur historian, I see one very big issue with the russian people: they never stopped being oppressed, never had any freedom, never had a chance to see life on the "other side". They went from the repressive regine of the czar, the last feudal state in Europe, to the Soviet Union. Then in the late 90s they had a small taste of freedom and then boom, Putin. That's centuries of (mostly) knowing only one version of the facts. They might suspect diferent but if all you hear, from craddle to grave, is "over there are monsters" and have no other evidence, and if you try something you're labbeled a monster yourself... well... imagine if you're told that not only what you belive is a lie but what your parents belived was a life. Not easy to get around it. The worst part is that we have people outside of Russia still feeding this, for personal profit.
