Lavrov answered the question "Why does #Russia allow itself to be constantly deceived?": After all, we are a religious nation. Our multinational people have many proverbs about the great patience of our people: "The Lord endured and told us to do the same," "measure seven times, cut once," "wait three years for what was promised." This, too, betrays psychology. But this is not the same as the naivety of the people's character, perpetuated by long historical events.
