Degeneracy is always trying to destroy society. It's mere existence is not the earmark of a successful society, the reaction to it is. Russian society still has an appropriate immune response stronger than most other countries.

It's the same thing with cancer, there are always cancer cells, a healthy body deals with them, an unhealthy one tolerates them and they grow.

Though there are other issues in Russia that are just about as bad. They are all in on covid bs and forced vaxxing for example.
