I like how Russia itself is now pushing the agenda of being completely different from western countries while culturally being obvisously European. Soviet culture does differ a whole lot from Capitalist culture of the time, but apart from that Russia is not much different from, say, Italy if you compare the two with Japan.
Also it's always made me laugh how the term "White" has nothing to do with actual whiteness. I remember being in shock when I learned Asians aren't considered to be white. Like have you seen Japanese or Korean people? They are whiter than many Europeans.
