So you're essentially saying that CF's Russian players are smarter than their non-Russian counterparts mainly because they come from the elite upper crust of Russian society whereas non-Russian players are more evenly spread among the social strata.
Basically this. On average.
For each particular russian CF'r the mileage may vary. I have seen russians who can't pk at all and their primary activity is RP.

You don't have to be a genius to excel at CF You don't have to be a genius to excel at CF. It just takes time to develop muscle memory and accumulate game knowledge
No you don't have to be a genius, but being one helps. For RP it is not that important.

plus an innate ability to make snap decisions under pressure.
Some people are just better at:
- making "right" strategical decisions
- an innate ability to make snap decisions under pressure
- read your opponent and predict his moves
- not only have knowledge but use it correctly where it's applicable. Eq, Torak has knowledge but can't do shit with it.
- etc
This generally is called being "smarter" and it may brings you on top in PK. Again, for RP it's mostly irrelevant. You can be completely dumb (in game wise sense) but be able to put a great talk in the Inn.
