Blaming the people rather than the system has to be peak neoliberalism.
Regretfully it's true in Russia. Our mentality and traditions are mostly responsible for prevalence of autocracy and "tsarism" in Russia. It's difficult to imagine someone like Putin, even less - Stalin, in modern England, for example (with it's hundreds years old democratic tradition), but it's almost "normal" in Russia and - for most of Russian people. American system is direct result of mentality and traditions of American people, and it is such because people are what they are.
