  1.  @007GoldenLion  ..I'm not saying I disagree but you're being vague. Are you suggesting that Russia is not a Western culture? If so, you'll need better reasons than that. Greece also doesn't use the same alphabet and has Orthodox values (obviously, it founded the church). I think it is semi-Western. It has produced works of literature, music, and philosophy mostly appreciated by Western scholars, not Eastern. And yes, if you haven't visited, I encourage you to. It's a beautiful country.

  2. I think an important distinction can be made by saying, "Russia is a Western society, but it is not a part of the West" (i.e., it is primarily a European colonialist culture, influenced by Greek and Roman traditions, but it is not currently a fully modernized, globalized economy, relative to other Western societies)
