Every country has a lot of idiotic nationalists, especially those which have an glorified, imperialist past. What matters is how much suffering are they willing to impose upon themselves to satisfy the demands of their collective narcissism, and Russians who live abroad aren't going to be the ones suffering it the most.

And those who’ve left the motherland are probably not the most nationalist, so there you go.

You would think that but it isn't always so clear. My college had a sizable chunk, if not a majority, of foreign Chinese students and they were extremely patriotic/nationalist.

But to be fair maybe those who never left China are even more patriotic, I wouldn't know.
