Russia still hanging on?

Question by alight_212: Russia still hanging on to its old ways?
Is there any evidence to point out that Russia still has its cold-war mentality? The recent conflict with Georgia can easily suggest that Russia has not gotten over its socialist past. Why would they be hostile towards Georgia in joining NATO or even attempting to take over land?
What about the death of certain individuals such as Alexander Litvinenko and others in the past that have links to Russia’s deeds?
