If you're going to call Russia even partially Western, wouldn't the former Eastern Bloc be Western now as well?
As far as Russia goes, I would put it firmly into the Western camp regardless. Moscow is definitely more interested in dealing with Europe than they are with China (the other dominant Eastern nation) unless they see that they have direct interests in the area. The Russian Federation focuses little to no energy on Pacific Rim issues, even though they have more Pacific coastline than the US, who focuses quite a bit of diplomatic energy in that direction.
If you talk to most of the people in the large Siberian cities - Irkukst, Novosibersk, Ekaterinburg, Barnaul - they are going to indentify Russia as a European country, not Asian. Most of the population are ethnic Russians, and the traditional boundaries of ethnic Russia is a rough circle about 500km from Moscow with a lobe going down into Ukraine centered around Kiev.
Knowing what criteria you want to use would help all of us help you. Otherwise we're all going to use whichever seems most important to us. If you use straight trade numbers, then China is a part of the West.
