This reminds me of a skeleton I saw in the Tromso Arctic Museum. A teenage boy who had a life of such hard labor, his bones were worn out. How did people do that from their earliest memories until they died?

    Because he sees himself as the successor of previous emperors of Russia such as Nicholas I. To him, Gorbachev was just a fake leader, watching over disaster and dissolution, while he's a monarchical figure of inevitable destiny.

    He sees the invasion of Ukraine as a defensive war, trying to keep the empire together. Prior to 2014, the Ukrainian government was essentially a puppet to Russia, after that it was like another piece of the empire was "taken".

    I recommend listening to Vlad Vexler to get an insight into how the tyrant thinks. His chat channel is also great.
