This isn’t about the russian soul, it’s about a small vindictive man called Putin who has his opponents beaten to death in front of the Kremlin, or poisoned, or murdered on his birthday if the poisoning doesn’t work. He even poisons his allies to threaten them. He orders murders like this out of spite and because fear is the only weapon he understands. This horrible little man is valorised by the current US president as ‘a genius’ so this sort of stupidity transcends national borders.
