I never stated that Putin was the head and the people are brainwashed to love him. The people are brainwashed into thinking that all their social problems are caused by the West, everyone wants to invade Russia and there are na zis everywhere and only Russia cares about fighting the na zis. All this has caused russians to be some agressive motherland loving patriots, who like to blame other countries for their own misery caused by their own governments agressive foreign policies.
I think Russia should ship their kids to EU schools, they would turn out much nicer people in general. Cause EU doesnt teach hating and diehard patriotism. Cause really, have you heard any EU person state things like "lets bomb Russia"? No never. Nobody really wants to hurt Russia. While russians angry yelling "why havent we invaded anything yet?" are almost everywhere.
