The world is slightly larger than Russia and 'the West'. I suggest you look at an atlas, it might suprise you.
the thing is people from asia, south america, central america or africa or even eastern europe are all likely to be russian stooges, as Florencio Campomanes and Kirsan Ilyumzhinov where , and the last guy was russian, wake up and smell the coffee- our youngsters in the west deserve people in chess standing up for their interests.
