Yes there are, the alliance is purely pragmatic due to geopolitical circunstamces. Ideologically russia is aligned with the west, but for some reason the current oligarchs in the west haven't moved on from cold war russophobia.

Putin constantly says so too. "we are as bourgeois as you, there is no communist party power here, let's negotiate."

Then again, it might just be lack of infrastructure to handle tourism coming from russia.
