The autocratic vertical is the structure of the Russian state. At the head of the state stands the tsar, he is propped up by religion and the security forces, and at the very bottom are the people. The people, as a rule the lowest and most powerless, sit on a bottle. The bottle is a symbol of Russian patience and love of suffering, which in turn serves Russian autocracy, because the Russian man loves to suffer and sees in it his chosenness and a great meaning.
Why a bottle? It is an ancient Russian tradition. The Russian police regularly torture Russian patriots by sitting them on bottles, and Russian people take this procedure for granted, as a necessary ritual that deepens their love for the motherland.
There is a folk saying: whoever hasn't sat on a bottle isn't Russian.
