When I was in Moscow a couple years ago, the Russians had cut off many Georgian imports. We went to eat at a Georgian restaurant and they had no Georgian wine, one of the targeted imports. The Georgians were peeved and apologetic, but took it all with an air of "this too shall pass." I wonder how they're doing now.
To over-generalize about Russians, they tend toward unwarranted suspicion, thinking anybody who insists on doing things differently is a spy or at least up to no good. They do not value ethnic and cultural diversity, and that's an understatement.
Of course, this is to be expected from people who lived through Stalinism. Peasants in the countryside are still suspicious of foreigners and urbanite Russians to a stunning degree. Russian soldiers and police are likely to be rude and even abusive to foreigners, and some of them make money on the side by helping pickpockets steal from tourists.
I found Russia to be fairly unpleasant, and I wouldn't go back.
