Priests in Russia will tell people to look after their own souls and the salvation of others is not their business. Consequently, there's much faith but little evidence of charity. Everyone should look after himself. The common general attitude is, 'it's your problem'. I think the validity of this message depends much on the context. It could be a healthy sign that the Church in Russia is telling people to stop trying to control other people's lives and focus on your own well being.
