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?

Russia is a closed, autocratic regime controlled by a strongman and the wealthy few.
Witness the fate of Alexie Navalny.
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?
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.
Food for thought.
What makes someone feel "rich enough" in different societies?
