Because Russians have always been suffering to the point where they can imagine no other state. Know why Zvyagintsev is the only Russian making non-shit movies right now? Because they don't suffer enough these days.

Because Russia survived through the apocalypse of the 90s, the entire nation suffers from ptsd.

Russian boomers/early gen x are so Stockholm syndrome'd by the idea of needing to suffer and be afraid all the fucking time that they do everything they can to fuck their kids up just so they'll have something in common with them.

>films
try reading their literature if you really want depressing

>suffer under brutal authoritarian oppression for more than 100 fucking years

Gee I don't know.

Was Dostoevsky unironically a robot?

The XX century wasn't even the worst century in Russian history
At least they "won"

No, he lived a hard life but understood how to endure through it. Robots live an incredibly cushy life and just want to kill themselves.

This isn't Russian Cyrillic, is it? I don't recognize many characters.

>The XX century wasn't even the worst century in Russian history

Imperial Russian Tsars could be shitty but let's be honest: they never pulled, nor were ABLE to pull, the nightmarish Orwellian shit seen under Lenin or Stalin.
The closest you get is people like Ivan the Terrible, and the best they could do was terrorize some peasants now and again.

Many of his characters like the underground man and Raskol are robots though

What characters exactly?

I'm talking about the centuries of Mongol rape

Huh? It is. It's just the font confusing you maybe.

If you're looking back then you also have to consider the Orthodox church where the "meaning in suffering" concept is quite a bit stronger than in other major denominations because of the unforgiving environment it was formed in.

>get one chance at life
>be born in russia during any time period

Those are handsome boys

1/3 of the population died in the Time of Troubles
