A good documentary, on the USSR though not modern Russia, is The Human Face of Russia. You can find it on YouTube. It’s Australian as well so it’s interesting seeing a look into the Soviet Union from the point of view of a country that is aligned with the US but without so much Red Scare propaganda.
I have a rabbit, but we got him through a rabbit rescue organisation that picks up abandoned rabbits and fosters them until they can be adopted. They also smuggle rabbits out of a hell state in my country that just straight up doesn’t allow them as pets and kills them if found. You have to show proof you have the capacity to care for it and pay an adoption fee to cover the cost of vaccinations and shelter for the next rabbit they rescue.
Also rabbits are the best pet. They are quiet, the are vegan, they love playing like a dog but also just lounging around like a cat, they clean themselves, and their poo doesn’t smell. They are also really smart and can respond to their name, and can be easily litter trained.
