Pretty much this.
I do not see any Russians being attacked or harassed en masse anywhere in the world currently. Sure, there are Russians who live in other countries and are cheering Putin on, but honestly, most Russians don't. And the only reason why Russians in Russia are so overwhelmingly "for Putin" is because of manufactured consent, threat of being sent to a work camp and never coming back and direct threats of executions for anyone living higher than the first floor.
Sweeping "all Russians" under the same rug is wrong, I believe. That kind of thinking is WW2 era xenophobia which has no place in our modern times. We are all the same but with different, ever-changing state of minds.
Education and evidence are the only weapons we should use to fight against ignorance and hatred.
Did you live in Russia back in the 90-es years of the last century? I did. I was hungry many times. I lost my apartment because "ownership" appeared. I remember how people from the USA bought the most profitable businesses in my city where they didn't pay salaries to Russian workers. We don't want to happen this again. That is why most people who live in Russia support Putin. We will not let you come back to rob Russia again!
