MODERATORS
Estonia is like an extension of Finland (although using Russian there might be hard for the same reason). Kazakhstan has a good rep.
Moldova, Georgia and Armenia have fighting or unrest. Azerbaijan too although they kind of won, and Belarus is party to the whole Russia/Ukraine thing. Turkmenistan has a bad rep for other reasons and is hard to legally get into.
I know less about the other Baltics and 'stans from a safety perspective, although presumably the Baltics are similar to other poor areas of the EU.
Besides Tbilisi Georgia is nice, calm and pleasant. Kazakhstan is mostly a shithole, but if you're not into interacting with people and enjoy flat steppes with endless views of nothing to the horizon, or beautiful mountains in the south, it's a nice and calm place too.
