"Old world mentality from both. "
the underlying philosophy is older than the Cold War
the Russian Kingdom started in Kiev, before they moved to Moscow
many in Russia......and some in Ukraine.......consider Ukraine part of Russia (not USSR)
keep in mind that the "kingdom" structure lines up with the centralized power model (i.e. no independent institutions) of the Putin government and reinforces the "strong man" leader sought by Putin and Trump cultists alike
