The whole point of the collapse of the Soviet Union is that it marked the end of Marxism-Leninism as a viable governing ideology, and thus (from one perspective) represented the liberation of the Russians as well from the shackles of that ideology and the entity it was the guiding spirit for, not the defeat of Russia as a state and the Russians as a people. Heck, the final death blow to the Soviet Union was delivered by the Russian Federation itself when it seceded (in conjunction with Ukraine and Belarus, the Central Asian countries didn’t really get a look in on the process) from the Union.
Russia =\= the Soviet Union.
