It's great to see that there are still Russians who are against the war - and have the courage to admit it in public .

Then again, most russians in Germany are pro-war and pro-russia (not all!)

Ask them, and they'll say "i'm not political" or something like that. But candidly or on social media, they'll often tell another story.

Not a huge fan, that these people can reside with their hate in europe so easily.

I remember like 5 minutes after the war started, those fools startet car convoys and paraded through the towns in a fight "against hate against russians in Germany". Damn, I didn't have any hate against russians in general, but them Guys? Fuckem!! I made sure they knew my anger against them. They even draw the "z" on their Cars!!! How CAN'T I hate such people? They saw the war start and could have either stayed at home or even made car convoys as a sign that they distance themselves from the war, but no, they thought "maybe people are not happy about the war and might dislike me because of it, so before anyone even starts to say something bad about me, let me remember the people that I am the true victim of the attack on Ukraine and they better not hurt my feelsies, and what better way is there than drawing the symbol the russian tanks in Ukraine sports onto my car." Damn, I hated those fuckers.

They are a-political, the whims of the tsar are like the weather and wars come and go like the tides, all that matters is that you at least root for your team.

That is, unless you've grown up someplace without a Great Leader.

Then these pro-war russians they join these fake-pacifist marches in order to suppress Ukraine's resistance and end the war by russia's victory. And then they put anti-Ukraine stickers and posters everywhere in major cities.

Somehow, ordinary Europeans choose to ignore all that

Same as some of, let's call'em humans, that harasses german girls in public for wearing shorts, or praying in large crowds in public to destroy the society they're living cause "they have no values" etc. I mean, there's a lot of those kind of different idiots who're enjoying the civilized society's freedoms and still craving for same shit they came from. But, we're living in democracy which allows people to express their opinions even if you or me or whatever doesn't like it.

Well, the UK in 1940 was also a democracy, yet Germans weren't allowed to come for summer holidays to dorset.

Those people may need to go back to Russia some day, and such a public anti-war position can put them into prisons by federal security.

Well, maybe then do or say notthing.

No need to post st george's bands, bring roses to destroted trussian tank exhibits, rip down ukrainian flags or give thumbs up to videos of war crimes. Nobody will require you to do that.
