The two fundamental of Russian thinking.
1, Suffering is inescapable, and must be accepted.
2, A strongman leader is always best, even if he does terrible things to us.
These beliefs have been a constant throughout one thousand years of Russian history
Sure, not every Russian agrees with those beliefs, but the number of those who don't, are so small, as to be effectively zero.
