    Noun with abstract meaning?

    I was told that if a "noun with abstract meaning" comes after the following verbs

    хотеть
    искать
    желать
    (there are more on that list)

    I use genitive.

    Does this rule apply only to nouns with abstract meaning?

    I should say я хочу эту книгу and not я хочу этой книги

    because книга is not really a noun with abstract meaning?

    Just use Accusative for any noun (if without negation) and you will be on the safe side. It will do always.

    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    No, it is not a valid sentence.
