rather than strictly feudal society
Russian laws prior to formation of strong feudalism, were just like Frankish laws, quite liberal and tolerant
The so called "Ruskaya Pravda"
Troubles begin although, with Mongolian invasion which left a strong impact on Russian society, and the so called Tatar yoke lasted almost 200 years
History however would want, that another Germanic dynasty takes over he throne of Russia some 200 years after Mongols were expelled, namely, the Romanov dynasty
Which was probably in accordance to the established custom of the higher echelons of Russian medieval society, who most probably preferred to be ruled by Germanic peoples, who were at the time, unlike tday, considered as "strongmen'
Whereas we today see Germans as people who are "rational', punctual and calculative
Germans back then were seen as firm and orderly people especially gifted at imposing order
And were seens as fierce warriors, which was necessary for anyone who wanted to dominate vast populations of peasants and serfs
Hence the old time image of a "Northerner", as an archetypal brutish but orderly man

REMEMBER ALSO THAT RUSSIAN DID NOT REPEL THE MONGOLS
THEY MADE DEALS WITH THEM
In other words, Mongols were victorious
YES
THEY WERE NOT REPELLED UNTIL THEY GOT TO WESTERN EUROPE
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WEST WILL NEVER TRUST EAST
THE OTHERS ARE
1. GENETIC DIFFERENCE
2. HAJNAL LINE
THE RUSSIANS HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT HAS COST THEM
Mongols were finnaly repelled in this event
But it would be incorrect to presume that Russians are prone to foreign influences or that they are too open
Russian identity is still firmly Russian
THEY ARE STILL 1/4 ASIAN
NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT
100 years of Bolshevik Internationalism did leave it's marks, but remember, it took only 50 years of Capitalis Internationalism to do worse
CULTURE IS DOWNSTREAM OF RACE, OR WHATEVER THE HIP ALT RIGHT SLOGAN IS
I think that's a crude estimate
NOT ENTIRELY, AS THE GENETIC DATA BACKS IT UP
The problem appears with Russia being a large society for sure
THEIR BEST BET
IS TO AGAIN ASSERT NATIONAL IDENTITY
AND DEMAND EUROPEAN RULERS
REJECTING THE ASIATIC
Such a movement exists alredy and is quite strong
LET US HOPE SO
It's the so called nationalist opposition to Putin (who is in Russia seen as big tent moderate)
AND NOT PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN PUTIN
