Great bunch of lads.

Pro: world-class culture. Crime & Punishment is the study of human conscience. Vast amounts of fantastic music.

Neutral: they won WW2.

Con: Dodgy politics. But i don't honestly know what's going on there.

Pro: Russian memes and gopnik lifestyle hilarity. Both come from being poor FWIW.

Cons: Russians in (video) games; Russians as people for the most part; Russian politics; Russia historically; Russia during the world wars; Russia in general.

Dictators R Us - for all your dictatorial needs.

Joe Stalin : 'Smile, and the whole country smiles with you, they have no option
Uncle Brezhnev : 'Don't worry, you get plenty of nap time.'
Vladimir, just call me man of steel, Lenin : 'country holidays for all.'
