Russia is a vast land, has many varied and beautiful landscapes, rich folklore and maaany many unique reptile species! In terms of piracy, russia is also home for talented cracking teams.
But when it comes to war.. there's a lot of savagery and monstrosity russian people done in the past. Sooo... yeaaah
I love the US, too. I just hate what it stands for. So I'm not sure what you mean by “Russia“, the country and it's people, the idea of it as implemented by Putin, or something else altogether.
