It is a large country, so it has both temperate and arctic climates. Russia has gotten a wrap for having a bad climate because of the failed invasions by both Napoleon and Hitler. Russia struggles with corruption as most other countries, though it seems to be more prevalent there.

The Russian GLBT movement also struggles against an institutionalized old Soviet belief that homosexuality is the result of western decadence.
Supposedly, though I don't know how much credence I give it, there is a shortage of "decent" men for women to find husbands there.

That is what I have heard. There are also many great artists, writers, dancers, and composers from Russia/The USSR. Russia has manned space flights, which we in the United States have discontinued for the time being. Russia continues its policy of Nuclear disarmament as does the United States. Russia often sides with China in the U.N.
In my own PERSONAL experience, which counts for very little, I have found that Russian men as well as other Slavic men tend to have a sense of entitlement when it comes to their place in society and their interactions with women.
I don't know. I find it best for people from other countries and cultures to clue me in rather than vice versa. As I have found frequently when people describe the people and politics of my own country, misinformation is more prominent than one would like. I cannot help but think that such a scenario is true with my own perspective as well.
