They have a Zero-Sum ideology.
The literally believe that life is a Zero-Sum game. That there are winners, and losers. Everyone only cares about themselves, and objects that can benefit them in some way. That includes family. Every single human will take advantage of you, if they can, to benefit themselves. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded, or lying. Any act of generosity or altruism is a strategy to benefit yourself, in admiration, or profit. The Russian culture openly accepts this. Everyone, EVERYONE, is working an angle. If you fall for it, you deserve what you get.
They literally believe this Social Darwinist nihilism, and believe anyone who doesn't is stupid, or weak, and deserves to be dominated. They are incapable of true empathy, and think it is weakness.
The definition of True Evil.
