How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

Any form of dissent is crushed immediately, and anyone even suspected of badmouthing the government is rounded up, thrown in prison and/or becomes the victim of an “accident”.
Does any of this sound familiar, America?
Russia is a closed, autocratic regime controlled by a strongman and the wealthy few.
Why were the Japanese soldiers in WW II so hesitant to surrender in battle?
And, the regime has complete control of the media, so when an uprising or other occurrence they deem inappropriate occurs, they squash coverage of it and replace it with their propaganda.
Witness the fate of Alexie Navalny.
Food for thought.
