I love your Russian humor, ''we love our leaders''. You could love or hate them but you should look what they did in time they was your leaders, what footprints they left in history of your and surrounded countries.
P.S. Nu vsjotaki yest kakaja ta Russkaya Dusha v obshestve tam....
We love leaders while they rule. Then a new leader comes in and tells us that the previous leader was bad, and the new one is good. And then the Russians start to love the new leader :)
This is not a "mysterious soul," this is indifference.
