IA, and, if you ask me, I think that Hetalia!Russia would've been a very accurate portrayal if it was at all possible to view a country as an entity/a person. As it is, I try to avoid personifying countries, because collective consciousness, collective blame, and, in fact, any kind of collective emotion/action are all very questionable concepts.

That being said, I absolutely do understand where you are coming from, and I often feel sad about certain aspects of our history and our culture - even if, in the light of my dislike for generalizations, the sentiment is a bit irrational. Only a week ago I went to see a stage performance of Heart of a Dog (its main protagonists, Preobrazhensky and Bormenthal, are my favourite Russian characters ever, and I find their friendship absolutely epic), and the culture of the Soviet thirties, the intellegentsia suffering in the changing social and political climate, the old-fashioned language all made me go dfnefewkjgbjrgbkgb. Especially since I know very well where the whole Communist cause came from - from the same kind of intellegentsia folks, the members of the liberal parties in the Tsar's times.
I've always thought that Preobrazhensky and Bormenthal probably got arrested in the end, and it is damn heartbreaking.

And Ivan is a very tragic character, too, and he's certainly not a two-dimensional insane maniac with no human side.
