Russian jingoism dates back to the tsardom. Virtually no one realises the Russian worldview that Russia is on its own who need to carve up their own sphere of influence to protect itself. And each major powers could do so on their own especially China with whom they share-- in Russian belief-- a space in the more important Eurasian heartland (contrast to Western Europe where they believe Western Europe and North America is the centre of the world). Basically, the Russian worldview, and therefore foreign policy, is dog-eat-dog. "You have your territory, we have ours." Even prominent and seemingly liberal Russians, including Alexander Solzhenitsyn who was a critic of USSR, are ultranationalists and tribalists. Putin's late opponent, Alexander Navalny, is also nationalistic and have poor view of the West. Only a handful of Russians look towards the West and searching for closer ties.
