I think you have a misguided perception of Slavic society.

Slavic society is not homogeneous. It wasn't historically, and it isn't today. The people inhabiting, for example, 16th century Krakow, would have been (by the standards of the time) prosperous, enlightened and educated, protected by clearly defined laws and courts, and with a king who was elected each time by a nobility that was around 10% of the population. They would be mostly Catholic, speak Polish and Latin, the architecture around them beautiful boroque. Comparing the life and society of a city-dweller from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to one from 16th Muscowy would be bizarre, the two inhabited completely different worlds and continued to do so for hundreds of years.

Any generalized statement made in regards to Slavic society will be wrong on the basis that Slavic society is very different. This is something that Ukrainians, Polaks, Balts and others have tried to communicate to the outside world whose understanding of Slavic society for the last hundred years was centered on Moscow. We are not like Russians, Polaks are not like Estonians, Czechs are not like Bulgarians, in the same way that the English are not like Swedes and the French and not like Italians.
Its the same with Turkic,Iranic,Arabic,Indian Continent,East Asians,Anglo Saksens,Germanic etc.
A lesson to be learned for some.

The Ukrainian army began to actively use the American FIM-92 Stinger DMS MANPADS with two launch containers. Previously, these units were received from Lithuania. In this case, Stinger DMS is used from an HMMWV armored vehicle. Installations are also used in a stationary version. The height of the destruction of targets by MANPADS FIM-92 is up to 3800 meters, at a distance of up to 8000 meters, if the missile is launched to catch up with the target, then up to 4750 meters. MANPADS Stinger has proven itself in many military conflicts. The cost of MANPADS Stinger is about 100 thousand dollars.


Point-blank battle of the T-80 tank in Ukraine. Video of the combat operation of the Russian T-80BVM tank in Ukraine. The T-80 tank is sent to help the blocked Russian group. The crew of the tank, risking, comes close to the positions of the Ukrainian army and begins to suppress the firing points. When retreating, they begin to fire at the tank from a heavy machine gun of a unit of the Ukrainian army.


Video of about 50 TM-62 anti-tank mines detonated on the road by the Ukrainian army. The TM-62 anti-tank mine was put into service in 1962, the explosive mass is 8 kilograms.


Rare footage has emerged of Ukrainian air defense attacks on the Russian Supercam S350 UAV. First, the Russian UAV was attacked by a missile, it flew past, then fire from anti-aircraft artillery was opened at the flying UAV. Despite the damage, the UAV continued to fly.

For the first time, I clearly saw a cruise missile hit with manpads. It means that it happened under suitable conditions. Russian cruise missiles fly really slowly though.



But they can't catch up with that many missiles, they don't come across.


Yes, it's funny. Uncle Sam should give Ukraine more Sam (Surface to air missile) systems. But then the war is over. Ukraine cannot fight for Uncle Sam!
