Anti-globalism, despite depending on nations with some of the highest human rights abuses for their arms and weapons materials. Then also exploiting the impoverishment of the global South to recruit mercenaries by dangling large paychecks, bonuses, and an opportunity to obtain a Russian passport because their own nation's passports grant little access to other countries. Shouldn't be forgotten too the large number of cargo planes loaded with gold that Russia flew out of impoverished African nations operated by governments in the pocket of the Russian government.
For a country claiming to fight for the global South they certainly don't hesitate to exploit them, nor have issues aligning themselves with nations who also don't hesitate to trample on poorer nations.
View from this footbridge, looking towards Kabukicho, Shinjuku.

This footbridge was made somewhat famous by being featured in wintertime in Kimi no Na wa., and the rail bridge is also featured from this side in Tenki no Ko.
Fun fact, this is also the station closest to Shiina Taki's home, which is right across the bridge (to the left on this image) which this station is named after.
Ya know what's funny about this image? In the English dub of Ultraman Z, Ultraman Zero is voiced by none other than Son Goku himself, Sean Schemmel. So basically, Gohan is actually fighting his father. Hilarious, isn't it?
I happened to having just finished rewatching Unicorn when I got to this part of the story, and I'm not gonna lie that I internally shouted "UNICOOOOORNNNNN!!!" when this scene came on.
I'm looking forward to it, and ideally any figures that might be made due to it. It was for me one of the first anime that I got into, and the trailer definitely features scenes that are popping back up from my memory. As far as this video is concerned though, I've already seen it on YouTube over a month ago, minus the Netflix watermark.
Damn, tough crowd. No-one's excited for Ranma's return?
If they're not butchered by pointless censoring? Maybe. But since we know we're living in the bad version of the universe where older animes are remade with things taken out from them due to 'modern audience' then nobody gets excited with this news. You can look at Lum and that's enough evidence we're not getting the original Ranma experience, just a very washed out and sterilized version.
