Why is that a problem? The Cold War is over. The Russian influence on the world stage is not what it once was (China has definitely superseded it), and it's a capitalist society so their interests are mostly aligned with capitalist societies elsewhere.

Clearly their interests are not aligned with most capitalist societies, including the ones in Europe, East Asia, and the U.S. Russia overtly calls these nations their enemies, those nations see Russia as a threat, and Russia regularly threatens them militarily and interferes in their domestic politics at an extreme level (short of war).
Which countries in East Asia are you referring to?
As for the EU, the 'enemy' status is over a battle for control of Ukraine, and the trade sanctions that happened as a result of Russian invading Ukraine to stop Ukraine becoming a member of the EU. More detail about trade sanctions:
In my opinion Russia is in the wrong here, I'm just pointing out the reason behind that 'enemy' status. In countries that conduct business with Russia, that enemy status is far less pronounced.
> As for the EU, the 'enemy' status is over a battle for control of Ukraine
Ukraine is a continuation of and part of a much larger struggle. Russia is interfering in European countries' elections and domestic politics; they also annexed, unofficially, part of Georgia; they are pushing countries to abandon or not join the EU; they are working against European countries in other regions, including in the Mideast; they are trying to divide NATO by building an alliance with Turkey ...
