You keep talking about "Russia this" and "Russia that", but who do you actually mean when you say "Russia"? Who is this insidious entity that has a savage character and interferes with everything? Are people who got arrested in demonstrations in recent days not Russians also? Are dissident intellectuals and classics of Russian culture are "savage" too? And the average Russian living in poverty? Geopolitical entities don't think and act, specific people driving them do.
Not that I don't think Russians don't deserve the government they have - it's something that everyone does have a collective share of responsibility in. But to distribute that collective responsibility indiscriminately is not the way to go - power has never been distributed equally in Russia. And of course those who do have power are going to repulse Western ideals - accepting and promoting them would be a quick way to dig their own grave.
