I've also travelled in China and Russia in the past. I understand your concern regarding China and I have similar feelings. But I'm curious why you feel this way about Russia; have westerners been disappeared in Russia recently?
Putin's propaganda machine inside Russia (e.g. internal daily news) has been full-on anti-West for a while now. And so, where Russian people used to be generally positive about the West, now I believe that is somewhat diminished.
What's your take?
