From the day 1 I publicly made a statement on my Fb and LinkedIn and offered relocation help for Russian and Ukrainian people. And as I’ve said earlier, I don’t live in Russia, I don’t support “my” government and their actions.

There are thousands of Russians who got into jail for the protests.

How dare you blame people just because of the place they were born?

This whole situation is a tragedy. I don't know your life story and base my comments on the tone of your replies in this thread.

The world is going to hold the Russian population accountable to some degree for the war their government have started whether you think this is fair or not. And I think your attitude of aggression, victimhood and being wronged is not going to help you in the coming years. You would probably be better served with some humility, empathy and feel of responsibility even if you think it is unjust. The real victims are the Ukrainian civilians being bombed by your government at the moment. Not inconvenienced Russians who feel they are unjustly punished.

You don't know my life story but you accused me for supporting the war; you don't know all Russians, but labelled all the people just by nationality. How different are you from nazis blaming Jewish for being Jewish?

Just simple test: I have 3-5 reachouts every day for relocation help from Ukraine and Russia. I will say them: "Hey, danols from HN told me that I'm russian therefore I should support the war. please contact to him". Are you ready to take responsibility for them and help them all?

UPD: I wrote this in emotions, I'm sorry. But I'm truly offended by your accusation

This will be my last reply. I am not accusing you personally for what is happening. I empathies with your situation and feel sorry for you. You are obviously doing what you can at the moment. What I was trying to convey was that the tone of your replies came of as pretty aggressive with a sense of injustice and victimhood. Which considering the situation didn't sit well with me.

My replies also comes from emotions and anger. It is probably unfair but being Russian I think you are going to have to find ways of dealing with these emotions from other people even if you feel it is unjust. Expressing empathy and humility would probably be helpful. Especially during the current time when bombs are still falling. I didn't get that feeling from you and therefore reacted the way I did, which was probably unnecessary. I wish you the best in dealing with this situation and hope that you are able to help Russia become a free & open society.

Why is he responsible for a country he doesn't live in? He didn't choose to be born there and he even left. Cut this guy some slack.
