Може би с един нетрадиционен аналитичен подход, който бих нарекъл Полет над историчето гнездо (благодаря на Кен Киси за заемката). Държавата Россия, нейните управници и сместа от племена и етноси, дължаща названието си российски народ на Петър I, образуват порочен кръг, в който всяка от съставките извлича най-лошото от другите две.
