Russia has long revered trolls and trolling. Some trolls are considered sacred and called Fools for Christ. Some became popular Saints. Ivan the Terrible had a personal troll whose trolling of the Tsar is legendary. When his troll died, the Tsar was one of his pall bearers. In his trolls memory, Ivan the Terrible ordered a cathedral to be built; the famous St Basils Cathedral in Moscow. Mind blowing architecture! For an amazing read which can help deprogram you around muh Russia I strongly recommend 'Land of the Firebirds'. It helped me understand how Russia survived the demonic western captivity described by Solzenhitzen in his Gulag Archipelago series. Bottom line, Putin is, imo, an utterly fascinating human being.
