To be honest the comparison with Trump is bit harsh.
Because of how fucked up are American politics all the populists and right wing parties are compared to him.
In fact he has closer ties to democrats in USA than to republicans. But that doesn't mean that he isn't populist, political chameleon and sometimes in his retorics gets bit to the extreme to catch most possible votes.

After my bikepacking trip I will pitch the interrail to my parents. They are so excited about the places I visited but don't know how or if they will be able to get there. They (me too) don't like flying and by car it is just too stressful.

No, most people are pragmatic in this case and eastern countries changed from Russian ~30 years ago so another change isn't coming any time soon.
As my parents saw the change from "it is really appreciated that you can speak English" to "it is expected that you can use it". I can tell that it is so engrained in our multinational exchange that it won't be even desirable.
