Why is there always an atmosphere of washing the land for the Russian imperial government in Russian cultural circles in recent years?

First of all, many Russians have standard territorial control. Not only can they not reduce Russia's territory, they also support Russia's territorial expansion. The Russian Liberal Democratic Party is advocating such an idea. At present, the party is very popular in Russia. Zhirinovsky, the leader of the party, is a chauvinist in a big country (I think this person is mentally ill). He believes that the Russian government should restart tanks into Minsk, Kiev and the Baltic Sea to restore the territory of the Soviet Union. He also supports throwing nuclear weapons at the West to force it to submit. Historically, the territory of Russia is 22.8 million square kilometers, and that of the Soviet Union is 22.4 million square kilometers. At present, the Russian Federation has only170,000 square kilometers, which makes many Russians very dissatisfied. But Russia's territory is the largest, and the Soviet Union's control area is the largest, which makes Russians feel very proud. This is also the reason why Russian territorial controllers miss Russia and the Soviet Union.

Secondly, in the eyes of some Russian liberals and religious figures, the development of Russian culture and religion reached an unprecedented height during the period of tsarist Russia. They think that the cultural and religious system of czarist Russia is much better than that of the Soviet Union, which is why these people like czarist Russia.

Finally, the propaganda of Putin's regime also plays a vital role. In fact, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the founding of the Russian Federation, Yeltsin made many positive comments on Russia, but the positive comments at this time mainly focused on affirming some Russian practices and criticizing the freedom of the Soviet Union. After Putin came to power, he continued the positive evaluation of Russia in Yeltsin's era, but the propaganda content became to praise the superiority of the czar system and the czar's contribution to Russian territorial expansion and interests in various periods. After Putin became president for the second time, he vigorously promoted Russian patriotism. After the annexation of Crimea, he even put Peter the Great, Queen yekaterina and other czars who opened up territory for Russia on a high level. In fact, this kind of propaganda also implies that Putin's contribution to Russia is as great as that of the czars.

Regarding how the Russian government controls the Internet to publicize Putin and hires the water army to defend the corruption of the Russian government and Putin, we can see Zhihu's high vote answer under "How to evaluate the Russian propaganda film" I am a Russian aggressor ".

Therefore, Russia is more active among ordinary Russian citizens for various reasons, all of which are to satisfy their own political demands and purposes.
