It's easy to trick yourself when talking about rigged draws. If you look at a group isolated, you can say they (Russia or Saudi) got an 'easy' draw. But that can be said for most teams they could've drawn, especially as Russia are top seed.
As well as Uruguay, they could've got Peru, Switzerland, England, Mexico... really is anyone but Spain significantly better or worse than Uruguay?
As well as Salah's Egypt, they could've got Costa Rica, Tunisia, Senegal, Denmark, Iceland etc.
So if Russia's draw was Peru, Senegal and Panama... look at that, they got an easy draw! Must be rigged!
But here's the key question...
