Oh the Russian people are a very proud race indeed, Very Patriotic like you guys in the States which is fine, its just their ideals are very different to our capitalists ideals and is there enough room in the world for 2 major super powers? Not that Russia would have a leg to stand on against the United States in the 21st century, still let us not underestimate Russia too much!
PS. Putin even brought back the Soviet-era National anthem, that in itself speaks volumes on where his head is at.
