How the Russian World Differs From the Ideals of Western Civilization
Russia is ~100% western 'civilization' or culture. Ethnically, linguistically, religiously 'western'.
The Russian ideal is more benevolent, contrasting noticeably with the historical Western hankering to dominate, subdue and exploit
Well, you could argue that the russian empire was/is more limited than the british empire, but that's about it. Since russia is pretty much western, it shares all the western (or global) political vices. Have you noticed how russia went from feudal totalitarianism (tzarism) to commie totalitarianism, that is feudalism recycled? Also noticed how the russians adopted a piece of garbage like the marxist religion, a product 100% 'made in europe'? I do think that the anti russian propaganda coming from washington and their european vasal states and pets is both stupid and dangerous, but idealizing russia isn't too helpful either.
