The above comment makes no mentions of who is doing what to whom. I think the idea of “us” doing things worse than I could imagine is just as scary as the other way round. You are indirectly part of the responsible bodies and may face the backlash without having been able to not only do but even know anything about it. Imagine for exemple being a Russian citizen whose quality of life is diminished due to political/economic sanctions as a result of your country's espionage activity being revealed.

I know quite a few Russians. Almost all act defensive over how people treat Russia as a politically homogeneous (evil) unit, when it's mainly a few oligarchs at the top. To the point of defending the political explanations espoused by state TV, which of course is heavily biased towards the narrative said oligarchs want the Russian people to believe. Remind you of anything? I for one have stopped trusting Dutch news for "being honest with itself".
