Many Russians unironically blame their (empire) collapse and fallings on Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, etc.
While they're anti-western on the surface, kids of politicians and middle class and richer people love the west.
Historically they treated some central Asian people better than they treated people like Poles.
Russians diplomatically and economically worked against Yugoslavia during the 90s. Their actions incidentally led to Serbia being surrounded by NATO. They can do what they want honestly, it's not like I think I'm owed something, but now they're angry that a NATO-surrounded Serbia is selling some weapons to the opposite side.
The day when Russians (or Slavs in general) gain the ability to self-reflect and stop blaming everyone else is the day we will be able to build normal civilisations. The only reason some Slavic countries are liveable is because of western proximity and/or many gibs. Yes, in 1500 years, the only reason why they're developed is German money.
