I've never studied it, but my father has a Masters in Russian lit. I've heard many stories over the years to confirm your observation.
I believe he said it was Nabokov who described the Russian people as a nation of abused children. I've never found that as a direct quote, but it's certainly the picture he paints.
I think that's helpful in understanding the Russian mindset. The fight was beaten out of them centuries ago, they can't believe in change for the better.
@p3R1n01D indeed. and this is why. now it's happening in America.
