Well the Scandinavian, baltic countries are as antirussian as it can get. Georgia is very butthurt now so we can get them easily in the list. We can include Romania, Moldova(although theyre in CIS)and the west slavic nations. All the countries i mentioned are the some of the most notorious buttlickers the USA has. Oh and I forgot our Bulgarian US puppet government. In south America it appears that Russia has little or none enemies. in Asia Its most likely the philipenes and south Korea.

Scandinavia; well Norway has quite warm relations and we are co-operating nicely in Arctic resource exploitation. They are a NATO member but that hasn't stopped us chumming up with France or Italy so..

Finland is neutral. Just neutral, although economically and socially orientated to the West, and in case of a crisis militarily too. But it's smart enough to not try to start any crap or support any anti-Russian initiatives either; the last thing it needs is problems. So we won't get any problems from that direction.

Sweden is the real problem. They are taking charge of Baltic affairs, have been pursuing an anti-Russian grouping with Poland earlier on and have recently been dropping freedom bears on Belarus. Well I'm no fan of Lukashenko so whatever I suppose - but still; they're a thoroughly anti-Russian country.

Georgia who cares.

Moldova has a puppet government that plays nice with Moscow in protecting Russian business interests there, but otherwise pretty much does what Romania and the EU tell it to do.

Romania is a potential trouble-maker. Best to keep an eye on them; anti-Russian sentiment in their society, territorial claims on Moldova, and a somewhat nationalist leadership that rarely fails to be unfriendly to Russia either. But for now at least they have a quite rational leadership that isn't going to risk war with Russia over Moldova or anything else. And they have their own problems aplenty right now besides.

Bulgaria - you guys are just like 'take it or leave it' I honestly don't think anyone in Bulgaria including the government seriously cares about East-West rivalry or fears Russia or anything. Bulgaria just wants economic development and is willing to do business with the highest-bidder.

West Slav states; Czech Republic and Slovakia are small countries with little influence or power. Like with Georgia it doesn't really matter if they are anti-Russian or not. I do believe though that they are both fairly pragmatic; Slovakia has made some arms purchases from Russia and the Czechs never fail to 'remember' their Russian-language knowledge when visiting Moscow to do business or actively encouraging rich Russians to come and invest in Prague or Czech industry.

Poland is a country that is ever at odds with Russia; but there is a considerable part of their society that prefers partnership with Russia to some degree. The problem is with their uneducated, religious nationalists who can't manage a brain cell between them. Their political class is more or less anti-Russian but understands well the benefits of business with Russia.

In fact Russia is dedicating considerable resources to mending fences with Poland. Patriarch Kirill is scheduled to stop by there sometime in the next few months. I'm going to make quite a prediction here - I wager that as Poland begins to feel more secure with itself, and less paranoid of a military invasion from Russia - it's elite will be more and more tempted to launch a political and economic partnership with Russia along Old European lines; as Schroder, Chirac, Berlusconi, etc... all did in their time. Assuming there are no major incidents or tensions, this may come to the fore over the next 5-10 years.

Thanks for the relief. the baltic countries hardly have an impresive military, I heard Latvia and Estonia dont even have an airforce or navy and dont support a fully functioning army. For now they can only deploy some volunteer militia so thankfully they can rant about russia all they want but cant do anything much if they piss off russia enough that it escalates into an armed conflict
This leaves lithuania the only baltic state that has a half descent military(apparently they werent afraid to be generous with georgia and give them some weapons for their little incursion in ossetia) So it seems sweden will have to almost singlehandedly support her allies in case they they screw up with russia. Their airforce isnt that impressive and large. Although they constantly sing praises about the capabilities about their gripen the truth is that it isnt any better than the Su-27 or Mig-29M and the Su-35 or Mig-35 surpass it plus the VVS has larger numbers of fighters plus they have a heavy bomber fleet,something sweden lacks. Swedens navy's best ship, the visby class corvettes although impresssive isnt any better than the stereguschy and its only advantage to the udaloys and sovremenny destroyers is stealth. Army-the CV-90 isnt any better than the BMP-3 and is pretty much on par with the BMP-2. The strv-122 is slightly superior than the T-90 but that doesnt make much difference because the russians will have a larger number of tanks and will have far superior CAS. The leo2A4 inferior while the strv-103 more of a specialised tank destroyer.

So a combination of numbers better airforce and navy will make war with russia unsustainable and unwinable so we have no fear from these russophobes

However I'm worried if moldova influenced by romania starts a georgian style attack on transnistria. Probably the only way to get the the invaders out would be using the VDV and start an air campaign.

Fear that everyone wants to take over the world is silly, the west controls the worlds banking and financial system as we have seen where the US keeps its excellent credit rating despite being in the Sht because all the credit rating agencies are American and don't want to get bombed or invaded... or most likely lynched.

i have heard Brics countries are making thier own bank now , and with more then 40% of the world population in brics i think that would be successfull

The country most hostile to Russia in World space is US .....though I wont label it as enemy but most like strategic competitor.

In Europe its UK that has hostile attitude towards Russia.

China and Russia are strategic allies and so is India and Russia.

Canada is an enemy of Russia . While the US does pose a threat it's the US sidekicks like Canada, UK , Australia who pose the maximum danger because they attack Russia indirectly . Australia is far away from Russia so it can do limited damage . The UK intends to break away from the EU so it's importance for Washington is reducing .

Canada remains a US henchman . Their PM has a personal dislike for Putin .

Canada is claiming large parts of the Arctic that falls on the Russian side .

@Sujoy

That Canadian clown is just blabbing but he can do no harm. He has no military no nothing. US is the real power behind all anti-Russian sentiment.

China (potentially in the future)

China doesn't look like an enemy now, not sure about future, they are unpredictable.
European countries are hardly enemies too.
I would say terrorists are the todays enemies that Russia face everyday and US would be geopolitical, but still not an open one.
Russia has more than enough to fend of any potential threats and I'm sure few countries would like to have an enemy like Russia.

China has too much in terms of investments in Russia, as well as huge cooperation in various sectors (not to mention the fact that China buys its oil/gas from Russia). With the little to gain and large amounts to lose if it came to a conflict, would just be devastating and stupid.

US isn't a foe in the sense of where there would be an open conflict, but more or less using Russia as a boogieman (as they have for so long already) in order to push their own agendas on others, to get into conflicts in other regions, and to continue to blow money into a massive black whole also known as the MiC.

As Regular said, so far it is Islamic Terrorism that is Russia's biggest enemy. Actually, majority of the worlds Biggest enemy is religious fundamentalism. Unfortunately, many nations rather have their heads in the sand about that specific issue, and just pinpoint each other out as some sort of threat, rather than looking at the elephant in the room.

Georgia.

Who are Russia's enemies?

I would say these are "enemies" of Russia:

Georgia
USA
Saudi Arabia
UK

Update your knowledge, Georgia is hardly an enemy, look at the size of a country first of all. Their government changed after elections, they established ties with Russia again and they have their own enemies to deal with in their own country (Saakashvilli junta that still has power). Small country with big problems.
Saudi Arabia? Care to elaborate?

UK is rather distant country and not the most powerful one in EU. Russia already has more significant friend as Germany, not to mention good relations with France and Italy. UK and their stance is unimportant, they are enemy to Russia as mosquito is to an elephant.

I would agree in the sense that these countries populations are generally hostile to Russia, though as Regular points out... the removal of the clown whose best magic trick is to make ties disappear has changed the situation with Georgia... relations should improve quite a bit there.

Well Georgian population isn't anti-russian, there is almost 800000 of them living in Russia, if You watch Russian TV there loads of show men from Georgia. There is political griecance but not blind hate. Russian tourists still go to Georgia for a visit like nothing happened, but I've they are nor allowed to enter from Abkhazia or South Ossetia.

Every single NATO country especially:
Romania
Baltic states
Sweden
Poland
Albania
UK
USA
Moldova

NonNATO  enemies:
Saudi Arabia
UAE
Australia
New Zealand
ROK
Japan
Kuwait
Israel
Bahrain

ROK is an enemy? What?
