How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

Witness the fate of Alexie Navalny.

Any form of dissent is crushed immediately, and anyone even suspected of badmouthing the government is rounded up, thrown in prison and/or becomes the victim of an “accident”.

Does any of this sound familiar, America?

Ok, so this is a question seeking an answer to clear up whatever gymnastics are in my head. I'm a moderately attractive guy, sincere heart, genuinely looking to love another, established. Why don't women that I'm attracted to, want me back?

And, the regime has complete control of the media, so when an uprising or other occurrence they deem inappropriate occurs, they squash coverage of it and replace it with their propaganda.

Food for thought.

Russia is a closed, autocratic regime controlled by a strongman and the wealthy few.
