Russia is actually a perfect example for the shallowness of patriotism. It's really widespread there, yet the country didn't even exist (as a country) 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure Brezhnev would never have dared to speak about "loving Russia" when talking about serious political questions. And ever since Russia has become relevant, people's lives have suffered immensely from that. Yet, still, they wave that flag - even though it should actually be a symbol of misery - at every occasion. I really don't get it.
