Do Russians have manners?

I’m visiting Phuket and have been astounded by the number of Russians and Ukrainians here. I have empathy for anyone fleeing war and seeking peace, but the lack of manners is really noticeable. Asking in a genuine curiosity way… are manners a thing in Russian culture? The Thai people have smiled, bowed, greeted me with a hello and thank you’s are everywhere. I’ve been doing the same, but I haven’t seen a single Russian smile, now or say hi/thank you. What gives?
