They think, after all, that they would themselves feel the same hatred for it foreign people which aimed at installing itself by force in Russia and introducing new custons and methods unknown to them. The turbulent element in the array, on the contrary, regrets that pillage has been strictly forbidden. It computes the booty with which it might have onriched itself.
