Because Russia is being invaded so often.
I mean, let's not forget Hitler...
Who?
The famous painter. His recent art piece is his brain scattered across the wall. Truly a masterpiece.
Historically, their brand of propaganda is rooted in almost millennia-long trauma the Russian people have suffered since Genghis Khan took over Russia back in the 1200's, and other assholes have tried to invade them before.
Their way of dealing with it was to expand to have large swaths of land between them and anyone who'd try again. It's why Russia is the largest country in the world by land area but only small parts of that land are actually developed.
To a mid-century standard at best, let's be fair.
True. Still, history is history. I wish there was a way to heal the trauma of the Russian people so they stop submitting to dictators and acting like this.
Mid 19th century?
Mid-20th century is what "mid-century" has come to mean in modern parlance.
