OP states he's not Russian though. People in the West such as writers have had this strange fascination with Russia for centuries, they would romanticize it without knowing much how it actually is, projecting traits onto it that just plain don't apply, thinking it's on the same caliber as Western European nations when it was a pretty bad, un-Western place to live under the surface of pretty looking nobility. I suppose it's the same effect that created the myth of the Noble Savage.
