Honestly really don't care either way nor do I think either would be better or worse. Russia he plays less, maybe he doesn't even make the team? Belarus he makes the team and is a leader but has a short tournament. World Junior tournaments are a minor blip on the long development curve for a player so I really don't care.
If I were him I'd go with Belarus, if he feels a real connection with it. If he becomes an NHL player or even a fringe one he probably gets a chance to play for them in the Olympics too.
