Is there not a definition of the West in Russia, when, I understand, many (who how and when I do not know) apply to Moscow the title of the Third Rome
I'm sorry I am too lazy to look into the subject - but there is a large amount of Orthodox Christianity in the mix
And certainly VVP and others rejoice in Russia as the foundational nation for (perhaps not all) western values, which recently they have spelled out
That in the rest of the west they have adopted the title by default, or have not bothered to describe their values in the way you evoke, is only one example of their laziness in the understanding of what and who they are or think they are
