THIS explains why Russia starts insane wars

As Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine continues, we take a broader look at the roots of Russian imperialism. We go back to the 19th century and look at a book by Nikolai Gogol called Dead Souls. It contains a paragraph that exquisitely defines Russian historical identity. NOTE: while Gogol's portrayal of the troika captures Russian identity, Gogol himself came from Ukraine.
