So do you agree that Hungary and Poland are better choices?

I do but I'm afraid to fall into the same trap and to be called out by someone who knows the Polish\Hungarian life from the inside.

and Russia is certainly that, people start ignoring laws and regulations in favor of, you know, FREEDOM

I think it's called nepotism and corruption. If I (a hypothetical official) like you then you can ignore all laws you want, if I don't like you I have a shitload of laws you couldn't not break because they defy common sense, so I won't have any problems to punish you. However on casual level, you are right, nonsensical laws are ignored ... until someone reports you.

Also keep in mind that in Russia there are mandatory metrics on how many criminals of this and that sort police obligated to turn in, so you can see where it goes when it's not enough of actual criminals and police gets desperate. Every few years Russian government issues a statement that this time they finally abandoned these metrics for realz but, obviously, nothing is changed.
