Whenever ppl like you talk about Russians being Easterners, you make it sound like Moscow is literally only a few hours away from Beijing by car, even though in real life it takes 7 fucking hours to get there by plane, so just as long as a trans-Atlantic flight. Meanwhile, Berlin is only 1000 miles away from Moscow, but also, the most important religion in European Russia is still Christianity (as opposed to Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism).
Russia is as Western as Brazil. It's tsundere as fuck about its Westernness and wants to be seen as speshul bcuz of collective NPD issues, even though deep inside everyone knows that Russians have far more in common with French, German, and Swiss people than they do with Gooks and Chinks.
