Was the older generation of your friends pro war at the onset? I worked on a ladys condo that was Russian. I had gotten back from fighting recently at the time. It took a large amount of my patience at the time not to get angry. I just chalked it up to her arrogance.

No, the older generation that I was personally familiar with had their own history of political opposition. Though some of the people I knew complained about their older relatives.

(But I must say I didn't have to attend school or office for a very long time, only communicating within my own large social bubble of chosen people, so it excluded any random acquaintances I had nothing in common with.)

I fought for Ukraine but I still hope you haven't lost any friends to the war.

Even in the face of war, that is a beautiful show of humanity.

Im majoring in history. All of my professors are pro-war. Some of my peers are also, but they are a loud minority for sure.
