I spent a lot of time in an EU country and still have a lot of people I met on Instagram. These are normal people and a lot of them non stop post Russian hate now. Some Russian culture events got cancelled by the venue. I realize I may be exaggerating but it has just gotten to me

I think you mistake hatred of a cruel mafioso government and the dysfunctional structures that enable it to continue unimpeded, with the Russian people. Putin, the oligarchs, and the sociopathic bullies that enforce the regime are rightfully hated by all moral people. The generationally abused citizenry that have suffered so much for so long are not hated: the world wishes better for them.
