> I would think that if it exists at all, it would be cultural or environmental.

Russia has both a culture and an environment.

then it's not part of the "Russian psyche", is it? It's just that Russia can just suck.

It sounds like you consider the land to be separate and apart from the country or nation.

Do words like родина or отечество have a connotation of an intimate relationship between the people and the land, though?

In English, one synonym for indigenous is autochthonous, supposed to stem from Greek for literally "people arising out of the earth".
