Russia and the West

As an American, my view of Russia in relation to the West is obscured. I know differences exist between "the West" (US, Western Europe) and Russia. I would like to discuss what those differences are. (cultural and idealogical)

Also, does Russia see a need to join the West economically and politically as it often sees Islamic nations to the south and China as threats? Or could Russia be holding on to old suspicions due to the perceived threat from the West?
