it sounds like your friend has issues that he needs to deal with but through his ranting I think it boils down to quality of life and opportunity which are better in the west. You may seem a bit naive to him; it's hard to appreciate great literature, beautiful language and music when you have to commute through a dirty city on public transportation to go to a low paying job with little opportunity for advancement and then return to a puny (by US standards)dwelling. But everyone's attitude is different - I know one Russian who is hell bent on leaving but several that have no desire to leave.
