Population is decreasing rapidly and those who can escape to west. Right now Putin has everything in control, but he will not be there forever. I do not fear Russia in Putins hands, I'm worried what comes after him. Russia has lot of experience with bringing misery to other countries.

Although we are both of Slavic origin, there seem to be big difference between western, southern and eastern Slavs.
Strange enough. I've been to Czechia in the tens of small and large cities, and nowhere did I met the hostility as you describe. Neither did I see any ruins, everything is pretty and cozy. Doesn't look, as if built for 20 years.
And you are right that we don't hurry to be popular. We are not pop-stars.
You say western neighbours don't like us? Who you like? You don't like Germans, I know. Do you like Poles? Yes? Maybe because they don't like Russians as you do? Well, it's ok. We like you, grumbling clowns, think whatever you want about us. If ever once again we will have mess with Germans and our tanks will not have ability to fly by that moment - my apologises in advance for the trampled grass.
