Forum users Snork1979, leonello, and ivan1975 have flooded the Russian part of the forum, specifically the "Politics" sub, with posts supporting Russia's terrorism against Ukraine's civilian infrastructure. They're literally cheering every time a Russian missile hits residential buildings and cancer hospitals in Ukraine. This malicious behavior has been going on for ages, like it's chronic. As a Ukrainian, it's sickening to read their constant gloating and delight in these murders. The admins can't do anything because, technically, they're not breaking any rules. Most of the time, they (especially the first two) post screenshots in Russian from Russian propaganda media — straight-up war propaganda narratives from Russia against Ukraine. They're counting on nobody on this forum using OCR to detect this stuff. Plus, they write a ton exclusively in the Russian locale's "Politics" section. Basically, these guys think they're "shaping public opinion" for anyone reading the forum in Russian.

I think an outsider might get the impression that "the entire Russian society adheres to these narratives" (the narratives of Russian propaganda — the fascist Kremlin's propaganda narrative).

I think it's time to get rid of these toxic "wannabe influencers" they imagine themselves to be! Otherwise, IMO, an outsider might get the impression that this forum condones fascism and is breeding a new kind of fascism — "rashism."

There are several "enabling individuals" who act in the interests of these malicious personas — the most active among them is DmoZF3. I won't go into his methods today (I'll leave space for that in a future "reserve" post). And yeah, note that I'm not engaging in "political elimination of my opponents" — I'm all for pluralism of opinions. For example, in the Russian section, in the "politics" subforum, there's a user named be.open. Sure, he doesn't share my political views. But I have no issues with him — he clearly stated why he supports the "current government in Russia" (otherwise, everything he's achieved and his property would be at risk).
