It's definitely encouraging that they do stuff like this, but then they turn around and fly hammer and sickle flags at public events, chimp out about Ukrainians being "reactionary nazis" and such, and continue to do nothing about the rather appalling leftovers of the USSR that drag their country down.

It's rather frustrating, but I hope Russia will continue improving and being a thorn in the side of globohomo, but there will be many opportunities in the coming years for that to be interrupted.

Russias anti Nazi grandstanding is akin to boomer patriotism here in the U.S. Most Russians (like most people) aren't really political ideologues and just think "Russia Good" when they think of WW2 History.

Fair enough, didn't consider that.
