Head of the Moscow Carnegie Center Dmitri Trenin expressed in 2004 his different opinion on this subject. According to him, modern Russia is one of the least ideological countries around the world. He said: "Ideas hardly matter, whereas interests reign supreme. It is not surprising then that the worldview of Russian elites is focused on financial interests. Their practical deeds in fact declare In capital we trust." Trenin describes Russia's elite involved in the process of policy making as people who largely own the country. Most of them aren't public politicians, but the majority are bureaucratic capitalists. According to Trenin, "having survived in a ruthless domestic business and political environment, Russian leaders are well adjusted to rough competition and will take that mindset to the world stage." However, Trenin calls Russian-Western relationships from Moscow’s perspective as "competitive but not antagonistic". He said, "Russia does not crave world domination, and its leaders do not dream of restoring the Soviet Union. They plan to rebuild Russia as a great power with a global reach, organized as a supercorporation."
And as you expect me to do:
