Beyond the issue of violence, the Russian authorities would take a huge historical risk by failing to register the public’s growing alienation. Sheltered physically and metaphorically by the Kremlin’s high walls, and having progressively lost contact with the living conditions of ordinary people (if they ever had any), Russia’s leaders seem to consider their lifestyle to be both normal and eternal.
除了暴力问题，由于俄罗斯当局未能意识到公众日益增长的疏远感，其可能还会因此受到一项巨大的历史考验，。在克林姆林宫高墙的屁护下，俄罗斯的领导人已经逐渐失去了对其普通百姓生活条件的了解（可能他们曾经有所了解），他们似乎已经认为自己的生活方式既正常又长久。
