from a western interest perspective

Precisely. "Western Interests". In other words, the western mafia wants to grow. Now we find out if that will happen or if the Russian mafia is strong enough to stop their plans. Time will tell.

    I was in Russia in 2019. Granted, I was only in the touristy large cities, but what struck me from traveling there was the complete and utter lack of difference between people's lives there and the lives of their equivalents in the west. I speak enough Russian to get around, and people basically go about their lives, just like we do here. We are all pissed that "the government" does what it does, and we do our best to stay out of the way. I also have known several Russians over the years, both in Russia and outside. Talking to them, I don't see the difference you are suggesting.
