> Russia has elevated tyrants to power for centuries is deep-rooted in Russian soul to the point where it's not even a problem

That's racist thinking, as bad as Putin's assertion that russia deserves some kind of tribute by the international community by force. The world advances as a Markov process, the past is not an indicator for the future.

It doesn't _determine_ the future, but it sure sets the direction. Probabilities of all future possible states are not equal. The chances of the next president of the US being a Republican or Democrat are much higher than them being a card-carrying Communist.
