I assume, you just don't know reality good enough, not ignore reality. In reality, from USSR times, exists sort of non-written deal, in which Russian tops allowed to do everything, even craziest things, like invade Ukraine, in exchange to relatively high life level for Russians (close to 1st world countries) and some civilization level achievements, like human space program (or something, their culture consider large achievement, like bloodless seize of Crimea). These are extremely close to extreme-left maxima, that everything acceptable, in exchange to weighty enough something else. Also, nearly all Russians have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_relativism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_relativism For example, nearly all Russians think, that is is acceptable to sacrifice tens of millions people, to achieve something like human flight to Mars, and high percent of them accept to sacrifice their own life, or lives of their relatives, if this will be decide of random generator. Yes, they really thought themselves as just substitutable parts of huge machine changing world. Very few Russians (~1% of population), who don't agree with such thoughts, are constantly flee from Russia and got residency in some other nation, in many cases, just not so aggressive. And this is not just my attitude, these are extremely rational thoughts, based on tens years of observations, read books, math modelling and testing. (For example, Algebra of conscience, Book by Vladimir Lefebvre) Yes, it is not easy, but I have myself tested relations with Russians, and at the moment, even with tens years experience, even with closest friends, I cannot make good enough prediction, if some person nearest time will behave as normal human, or switch to totally agree part of Russian totalitarian machine.
