Beautiful picture
You could be conscripted, by force, drafted to the Russian army and quickly or slowly die in the war in Ukraine, like 300,000 Russians already have
You could go to prison for 15 years for criticism of the government, like for calling this war a war; their propaganda calls it a "special operation"
There is more, but I will stop here
Of course, US and EU are very far from ideal, in terms of freedom, monetary policy, economic policy, etc
There is a lot to criticize there
But Russia is the order of magnitude worse
Sure they have beautiful nature, mostly friendly people and so on
But Russian Federation is an oppressive and corrupt state
I wish it was otherwise but this is the reality, at least how I see it
