It arises partly from the fact that Russia is an "imitation" culture. Russia's first rulers were Nordic princes in the 860's, men invited to bring order to the country - even then, or so it seems, Russians didn't trust themselves to rule themselves effectively.
这种情况，无论是制度还是人都不应受到指责。其中部分原因在于俄罗斯是一个"模仿式"的文化。9世纪60年代，俄罗斯最初的统治者是日耳曼王子，他们被邀请到这里来建立秩序。从那时起，至少看上去，俄罗斯并不相信他们能够很有效地管理自己的国家。
