Would fit his religiousness... then again, he was Russian, their Turnings might work differently. Sure, WW2 killed very many Russians, but it didn't change their political system. The Crisis ending with the Russian Civil War, OTOH...
Russia (and I've been there) is on a different saecular cycle than the West. It could even be argued that the Orthodox East is a completely different civilization from the West as well.
Agree on both.

Hard to tell... their history doesn't show any tells of it. Why can't the GPW be part of their 1T? Whatever happens in a 1T makes people optimistic that they still can win at the end. That would fit as well.
