I like the Russian people, as opposed to Putin, a lot too. Politically, however, they have not evolved past wanting a strongman to tell them what to do and being aggressive toward the entire rest of the world. They like that.

It's not their fault. They missed the entire experience of most of the rest of the world with Democracy the last 100+ years and don't really understand its value.
