Why do Russians tend to centralized power and authoritarianism? One can argue that is due to the orthodox church, but you can see that Greece and other Orthodox countries haven't really followed this pattern. I mean, you can see that never in Russian history, you had a minimal state and a government that trusted the citizens enough to promote free enterpreneurship like in the West

It is coz we had retards in government who tried to build fucking communism for 70 years. And now people just don't give a fuck how should modern country looks like they think like "we had totalitarian government before all the fucking history and it's okey that we have it even now"
Also all tv mass media are owned by government and there is only news like "NATO wanna build the military bases close to our borders, vote for Putin he will save us from it" and shit like that

Because goverment try to control all mass media and brainwashing people that authoritorian style is good, russian people also never know something else. Everyautorithorian regime built on control of information.

One of the theories - it's started since the mongolian invasion.
Why? Because our knyaz (prince) made an agreement that he will take a taxes instead of some guy from Horde. So, since that moment absolutely every thing had depence only on his (ruler) actions. And people basically can't do anything.
And... people get used to it. Get used to the poltics "our tsar will solve everything, we need just to wait".

absolute bullshit, why don't you remember some stone age actions

>muh brainwashing

Lurk Novgorod republic. It was rather big oligarchy, german Hanza partner.

Because that mantra really works, while you rely on actions that were almost 800 years ago. Look at koreas, one nation, one culture, one language, but north is complete shithole and south is thriving
