🧵Update from Professor Mychailo Wynnyckyj

1. Thoughts from #Kyiv - evening March 2
In the #Russian language and culture, one of the worst things one can experience is "pozor".
2. This word translates as "shame" but its connotation is much deeper. 🇷🇺 culture is what org. theorists call "vertically collectivist" - extremely hierarchical with pronounced tendency to group-think. Leadership in such a culture is all about machismo and metaphysical charisma.
3. The legitimacy of the "vozhd" (chief, boss, principal) is derived from the belief of followers in his "supernatural" (or at least visionary) qualities. These must be reinforced regularly through successful use of force and/or publicly acclaimed achievements.
