- Not all of us are. I'd say most people who are superstitious are older, they grew up when more people were like that
But I note that we are no more superstitious than Asians.
Are they? Just for example there are no missing floor numbers in Russia like missing floor #4 or floor #13 in several countries.
When making such generalizations, you need to provide at least some source of this information.

Does the levada survey show significant difference compared to other nationalities?

Sigh.
Your 'question' has an unwritten presupposition which is 'The Russians are more superstitions than others.' I'm trying to explain that it is not granted even if everyone around you are superstitious. I found a levada survey that says that 50-ish percent of the Russians are superstitious to certain degree (and this number is rapidly decreasing). Just 30 seconds of googling gave me an article saying that 70+ of Texans believe in some form of superstition (and that is not the only state with 50+ level).
What I'm trying to say (and that is my answer to your question) is that before discussing 'why' you need to prove that the phenomenon exists at all.
That paper of yours takes into account only a small subset of superstitions and aggregates them into one number. I'm pretty sure that using different methodologies we can prove that any country in the world is, in fact, the most superstitious country.
Also, reddit is an open site, anyone can answer anything. It is not my problem that you don't like the answer.
And according to these surveys 80% Russians consider themselves believers. Is Russia religious? No. Because like 95% of these people visit church once a year to bless their Easter kulich and haven't read the Bible. They just consider themselves believers. But don't do anything religious people would do.
Surveys are misleading/useless if you don't know how to analyze the results.

No. You don't understand how science or even basic logic works. That's the only fact here. Lmao.

I obviously have heard about it. However, anecdotal evidences aren't suitable for making such broad statements.
This is subreddit dedicated to studying the Russian language. You may try r/askarussian

Aren't all Asians
