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?

Food for thought.
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”.
Russia is a closed, autocratic regime controlled by a strongman and the wealthy few.
What might be the social consequences of an ethnic as opposed to a civic conception of the nation?
Witness the fate of Alexie Navalny.
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.
Does any of this sound familiar, America?
