Totally nothing to do with the discussion, but actually I wouldn't say it's capitalism - it's definitely something older and deeper-rooted in culture than that. I say that because my fellow Russians are, in fact, on the other extreme from the Japanese (that is, more fiercly confrontational and self-referential if not self-centred), and they haven't had a long expereince with capitalism
