The distinction between degrees of belonging is rooted in the very semantics of the Russian language. Linguistically, the use of the word ''svoi'' (one's own, or insiders) is more limited than that of ''nashi'' (ours, more broadly). ''Svoi'' implies belonging and even implies a degree of possession.
