I really don't know why you consider it necessary to put yourself in judgment over Russia. It's really not that horrible, and it is certainly not in any way a threat against Europe.

Russia has significantly less people in prison than the USA.
Russia has not been caught out spying on the world
Russia doesn't regularly get caught speaking disrespectfully about international leaders and regions.
Russia doesn't have drone programs to assasinate people it doesn't like in foreign countries.
Russia has no history of invading one country after another for phony reasons, in order to gain control of natural resources and strategic locations.
Russia doesn't have ~100,000 soldiers stationed in Europe and over 250 military bases across the globe, including places where they are very clearly not wanted.
Russian's lives have improved over the last decade, compare with the USA.
