Feb 20, 2020 at 7:37 comment added Yellow Sky The main distinguishing feature of the Russian passive voice is the use of the logical subject in the Instrumental case: Пушкин написал поэму «Евгений Онегин». (active) > Поэма «Евгений Онегин» была написана Пушкиным. (passive). Нравиться is no way passive, this verb is always active since it is intransitive, it cannot be passive and it cannot have any Instrumental case objects. There are tons of Russian verbs with the particle -cя which are always active and cannot be turned into passive: бояться, смеяться, сниться, etc., and these verbs are not used without -cя.
