In short, Tolstoy is critical of the way Russian society and its people are detached from one another.
To those around him, the fact that he is dying is just bothersome, as they need to actually pay attention to him and care for him as he cannot do that himself. Ivan's only comfort is Gerasim who actually understands him and empathizes with Ivan and his difficult situation. He is showing humanity that others don't.
The theme which is best reinforced by the given excerpt is that women generally felt detached from each other because of the societal roles thrust upon them. This can be seen especially from the sentence in the passage which states that, ' we live close together and we live far apart'. 'Live apart' in this sentence implies that there is no real close relationship among the women even though they are neighbors[ live together].
