“Why on earth, does Russia still behave like it’s the cold war era”

Read Banfield and Moral Basis of a Bankrupt Society.

The Russians have a culture that precludes internal development. They believe that life is a zero sum game and that the only way to advance is to take. They have no trust in anything and they can never be trusted.

They have only survived by systematic genocide and wholesale theft.

I really, REALLY don't like the idea that what you say is true. In my comfortable world, we and the Russians can get along and help each other with various world issues.

Slander. Comminism theory which you imply was divised in Germany and England (check where Marx and Engels from) and was pushed on Russia by Civil war 1917-22.
