Thanks for warm words. I can't imagine sharing Russian government's position on this war (whatever they call it), and I'm ashamed I hadn't caught on and started working towards another citizenship earlier as it's been happening since 2014 really. Honestly, the most awkward IRL nationality-related interactions for me now is when non-Russians express support for whatever Russian government does. Feels like they'd expect me to be pleased but I have to reject sympathy on those grounds. (That said, to reiterate my on-topic point, the discomfort I used to feel when nationality was discussed went on for years before this all started/before I was aware that this was going on, and was not tied to specific government's actions.)
