All Primarchs were psykers, their psychic defences more powerful than any other psyker bar the Emperor and Malcador. In comparison to a Primarch, Draigo's wards are like a fence compared to the walls of Rome. Russ refused to accept it, of course, he just thinks he is powerful, but he is a psyker nontheless. The gods are not real, of course, but he still believes in them, and though he does not wish to spread the belief, because he believes that none other than Fenrisians could please them, he believes, and that gives him another layer of protection against corruption. After all, in Warhammer 40.000, Faith is a Shield.

It is not a question of how powerful he is or how smart, but rather how determined he is. Russ would never bend to the trickeries of the Chaos Gods because he would simply refuse to acknowledge anything they claimed. He is a fanatic of the highest order, even to the point that the Emperor realised that he could never change his view of the universe no matter how hard he tried, which is why no chastetisment came for the Rune Priests, whom the Wolves believe are just blessed with the powers of Fenris, not the Warp, after the council of Nikea

While I am a fan of the Wolves, this must be said: Russ would never fall to the Chaos Gods because he is too stupid and stubborn to comprehend anything about them.

Trust me, I'm a Space Wolfopedia :3
