In the early 80′s E.O. Wilson and Charles Lumsden modeled the evolution of human behavior and concluded that a thousand years under a particular set of societal norms was long enough to cause an evolved response in innate behavior (their 1000-year rule). Perhaps the average Russian psychology is different than that of many other peoples due to the selective pressures deriving from the regimes that Russians have lived under.
