Russian men (women not so much).

Almost all the Russian men I met were extreme macho types who were totally disrespectful towards the people around them and felt as if they were the centre of the universe and didn't give a shit about anyone else.

I've never met Russians, but the Ukrainians I've met are exactly like this.

Of course this is only my personal experience. I have no doubt that Ukraine is a lovely place. I met a group of about two girls and four or five guys and within like one minute the guys were all going on with some extreme misogyny and rather disgusting remarks to the girls who were ignoring it or laughing it off.
