Their opinion is that the west has tolerated racial conflict while the east has stated that their countries originated in a founding ethnicity, and that all other ethnicities are tolerated only as long as they impose no cultural or political costs on the founding ethnicity. ie: they don’t want the problems of the west brought into russia, just as we don’t want the authoritarianism of russia china and Iran in the west.
