It depends on what language(s) people know already to say in their opinion what is easy and difficult in terms of pronounciation and writing when compared to Russian.

This can't be considered a universal question.

I've seen this one; it's an entertaining read but should be taken as what it is, which is a joke as the author himself admits.
what is "easy" is subjective, but it does seem that most people agree with me that Japanese pronunciation is not exactly too hard compared to other languages.

as far as the other aspects go, I'd say that for me the grammar seems fairly easy (much easier than German, maybe a little harder than English). Can't really compare it to Russian since Russian is my native language but still the Russian grammar seems more complicated. the writing system is rather unusual but not particularly insane, and it'd be a huge bonus for anyone who might wish to learn Chinese later.
