"Когда человек родится, он слаб и гибок, когда умирает, он крепок и черств. Когда дерево растет, оно нежно и гибко, а когда оно сухо и жестко, оно умирает. Черствость и сила спутники смерти, гибкость и слабость выражают свежесть бытия. Поэтому что отвердело, то не победит." - Сталкер, 1979

tbh i think the fact that people here [in the US] see russia as one great putin-loving monolith but see countries like the uk as complex and multifaceted societies and not some homogeneous brexit & theresa may fandom (thats a specific example but it applies to all of western europe and north america pretty much) really just boils down to antiquated cold war era xenophobia + borderline colonialist paternalism and its annoying as hell and it makes me sick

hope you don’t mind me adding something onto this, but the idea of monolithic muscovy is from far before the cold war. america and europe (as far as even poland and ukraine) have long seen russia as a primitive asiatic shithole attached to their enlightened continent, thinking of them as the continuation of the golden horde essentially. that’s been a part of the central- and western- european cultural psyche for like nine centuries, and obviously the american cultural psyche has its roots in those of central and western europe.

America had also been considered a shithole before WWI, and Russia and America had been seeing each other as allies till the end of WWII which it's evident through the history of the countries' relations. The talks about "the cultural psyche" is quite stereotypical.
