People are the same everywhere, each bunch has their own good and bad.
what Pleasurepays said earlier about communist state and its oppression of it's people is true. stealing grew pretty much in mentality of most population, stealing from state owned anything (which did own everything) was norm - basic means of survival when there is no other options to take care of your family - i'm not justifying it, just stating what when on and grew into mentality of people for over 70 years.. prior to that imperialism and feudalism didn't encourage people's loyalty as well.
Now, all of that doesn't mean that generally Russians are barbarian monkeys looking and making schemes to fuck anybody who gets in their way, as been said before we have hard working, intellectual and honest minds too. Russian cultural efforts are respected and studied in many other countries. Innovation is in Russian blood - but less experience effectively and productively utilizing it.
was born in USSR and been thought never to steal, i did it once and my dad beat the crap out of me - set me straight ever since... go figure, Russian mentality..
