Diehard Russian fundamentalists. I also expect blind loyalty plays a part. If your country goes to war, you might support them regardless of reason purely because you are a citizen of said nation -- kinda like supporting a local football team.

Doesn't help when you're drip fed lies.

I was mostly thinking about people outside the russia. My friend from Germany mentioned about higher numbers of putriots in east Germany compared to west part. They are no longer under russian direct influence, for a while at this point, same goes for their quality of life.. and yet there we are. Still odd to me.

Same goes for Israel, plenty of exUSSR folks I know were proputin.. Eventually I had to break with few family members because of it.
