What went wrong?

Kasparov fight against the FIDE. That was the end.

Un-patriotic moguls

what exactly has gone right? Has a Russian athlete ever accomplished anything without cheating or bribery?

Getting rid of the Tsar

agreed, but that's hardly their fault. All throughout history the main theme involved in almost every revolution (or at least every one I can think of) is starvation. People will generally put up with pretty much anything if they're well fed. But once you can't feed your kids, or have to watch your pregnant wife miscarry due to not having enough to eat (times that by millions), something is going to snap.

No Lenin/the bolsheviks wasn't the perfect solution, but you cant really blame them for going down the route. Hindsight is always 20/20

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if tons of other countries were doping at the olympics as well.
