Russia's Tzars really doomed Russia for the last hundred years + the future when they decided to wait a century or more too long to emancipate their serfs. Russians have never had a chance to experience freedom, just corruption and authoritarianism because their nobles couldn't do the right thing when almost everywhere else in Europe there was enlightenment among the higher classes. Russia also never had a French revolution or a Magna Carter. They had a failed Streltsy rebellion during Peter the Great and then 300 years later the Tsar just drops the mic, walks away resulting in the assassination of his entire family.
