I think the parts of society that you are referring to that aren't fucked up have just been able to distance themselves from reality- the upper middle class has the luxury of being unaware of everyday struggles and they seldom have opinions other than those shared by those who hold power. The Russians you refer to are terrible people but they've been indoctrinated with garbage. My point is that many people's circumstances are just that- circumstances.
