This is nonsense. Traditional society supressed all competition. People who hate democracy hate it because it forces people to compete, not because it won't let them fight harder.

Russia has major problems with tribalism right now, as some ethnic/tribal communities (equally from Russian Federation and outside Russia) has managed to multply in the century XX and are now moving to cities and towns, from Caucasus and Central Asia.

Pre-existing post-Soviet institutions are obviously weak, and even when they work as designed they are ill-suited to deal with tribalist onslaught in the form of bad agents inside them. They are also in complete denial.
