Russia’s False Generosity

Note how the starting point is Russia characterised as a noble bear child who is generous, ethically disciplined, patient, and joyously persevering. Russia here is the innocent cub against whom the evil forces in the dark forest (The West) conspire, until eventually the bear cub becomes a monster. The bear cub is not to blame for any of its transgressions, as a result of the alleged treachery.
