There are many dysfunctional families in the former communist blok.My mother's side of the family is also dysfunctional, mentally ill mother, aggressive and ex alcoholic uncle, I should be lucky I'm not as messed up.as they are.
I think that especially during the Stalin and Khrushchev times people needed to be bold and even cruel to survive and many never even understood such concepts as respect, patience, love ( non-romantic ) etc.
