For context, the theory of the (sadly recently passed) lecturer Martti J. Kari is somewhat controversial. He presents an extremely damning view that the Russian area culture and even genes have been fundamentally authoritarian and imperialistic for ages. This also has some context in the Finnish culture, especially in the military, having quite a fearful and resentful view of Russia due to the wars during WW2, involvement in the civil war during WW1 and an oppressive era when Finland was a part of the tsarist empire. This is not meant as an apology for anything that Russia's regime is doing and how it is.
