It's not all that hard to find such examples for any country in the world. Try being black in South Carolina.

[to add: I have no interest in defending Russia, and no skin in the game. However the cheap shots annoy me]

You can nitpick all you want. Russia is ranked 57 on the Human Development Index, while the US is 4 and the top 10 dominated by western countries whose values Russians hate. Theres no comparison here and its disingenuous to play up a horrible autocracy like Russia as some wonderful place, although, its sadly, upvote heaven on HN.
