Russia is a large gas station between Europe and China, owned by mafia.

I just can't understand people in the West looking at Russia and thinking "wow, we need to copy that in our country".

It's a mafia run shithole that would have been gone by now if it didn't have nukes ... there is absolutely nothing positive about Russia at all. Nothing.

Yes there are insanely beautiful places in nature. Baikal lake, Ural Mountains, Altai mountains, Kamchatka nature preserve.

When my family fled Ukraine to get away from the Nazis, my dad's branch settled in Altai, which you mentioned, and my mum's branch in Karelia, which is also like improbably beautiful.
