I certainly hope everyone is able to separate the common Russian citizen from the actions of their country's dictator. Ordinary Russians -- even some of the soldiers currently fighting and dying in the invasion -- are just as much a victim of Putin as the people in Ukraine are. I'd like to think that the average Canadian/American/European/etc. isn't going to hold Russian immigrants accountable for a war they had absolutely no control over, but after seeing racist idiots direct hate towards Asian immigrants over COVID, I'm not so confident that will be the case.
