You should go to Russia and live there awhile.
Russia actually was out of US radar for a good while following the Cold War sans a few lingering stereotypical tropes in films and things. This upset Russians even more. Better to be talked about, even in a bad light (especially when perceived as powerful) than not talked about at all and seen as irrelevant.
