Arun, it has to do with "National Pride" and this is hammered trough the TV Channels, further for the most Russian population the Yeltzin days where very hard and now there is a sense of relief and in general bad memories fade fast when uncertainty about work prevail - security of income trumps everything. In addition there are the young generation which is very driven in search of an identity.
