I don't think this is some special trait of Slavs, it's more characteristic of old countries. Also, we must not forget that Kiev is essentially the cradle of Russian culture, naturally, this argument is easy to use

well, if by cradle you mean the history related to Catherine and Odessa then i guess so

but in general i think this over-thinking is not actually productive

No, I mean the period of Kievan Rus. In a certain sense, Kyiv is even closer to the Russians than Novgorod.

yeah, it is definitely an easy knotty mess to set on fire
