Russia has many nice things -- the culture (literature, some good philosophy, science, ballet, etc.), the normal Russians and other nationalities there who are loving the peace and the freedom (including the democracy -- no matter which one -- capitalistic democracy, socialistic democracy and so on, but at least democracy, i. e. when the people (or its biggest segment) decides the laws and the future, not when one monarch or one neo-monarch decides instead of most of you, most of us.) And here comes the problem (the same problem that Germany had before with Hitler). Germany has many nice things (great philosophers, high level science and technologies, literature and so on) but Hitler made it "Hitler's Germany" which wasn't nice. Well, now the situation with Russia is the same -- it's not Russia what we knew, it's now Putin's Russia (or something like "Putinia", "Putinland", "Putinstan"...) which means that only he decides the course, the politics, etc. (in the best case -- he and some of his closest friends and/or advisers, who knows?) and the bigger problem is that this one-man rule is highly aggressive towards many of the neighbors and many of the countries around the world, which is not nice. You can't call the aggressiveness which escalates even in wars against Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, in one or another form, something "nice", right?
This is what we're talking about. Let's imagine -- Norway is now a nice country, isn't it? But what if it starts to hit Denmark, Finland, Poland? Are there normal people who'll still consider Norway as a "nice" one? Surely not.
