I'd be very surprised if it didn't contain any anti-Russian sentiments.

IIRC they removed the Russian VO and changed the English name's spelling from Chernobyl, based on the Russian spelling, to Chornobyl

I've heard that too. But I bet there's going to be much more than that.

Yeah, weren't the bad guys in the original games Russian?

No. One of the enemy factions was the military, which definitely were Ukrainians.

I could have sworn the hostile scavenger type of characters were Russians, I guess I understood that incorrectly. Its been at least 10 years since I played the originals, so maybe I just misremembered it.
