Russia
The United States is closer to the equator.
Canada
Both share a border with Russia but I would say the US is closer because they have more people living closer to the Russian border than Canada.
Alaska.
Because India is much closer to the equator than London. It's like asking why Russia is colder than Nevada.

Russia
It depends in of what you mean by closeness - if you mean geographically, The US is closer - Alaska borders Russia - between the last inhabited US town (in the Diomede Islands) and the first Russian town (Uelen), there's about 30 miles (up North, over the Bering Straits). If you mean politically, neither Canada, nor the US are particularly close to Russia in either bilateral relations or in participation in common international organizations.
The majority of the population of the Balkans and Russia are the Slavs. So, they shared that, and they felt closer to Russia.
The United States is physically closer to Russia, with a small border over the Bering Strait. The closest point of the United States to Japan is between the lower Japanese Islands (near Sengaku) and the Northern Marianas Island Territory of the United States at over 1000 miles. However, in terms of policy coordination, trade agreements, and alliances, Japan and the USA are much closer than Russia and the USA, especially given their mutual Cold War histories.
