Yes, it's one a lot of societies are questioning recently, identity and how much we attribute to parts that might not make any sense but stem from tradition or false beliefs. A lot of it isn't purely geographical either, things like views on race can have a huge impact on how we label/self-label. Another part of the identity equation people are questioning are things like pride, where we claim people as [group] because it makes us feel better (even if the individual does not claim that identity, whether it be the school they attended or where they were born, etc). It's a lot of good discussion, but I feel due to political circumstances recently a lot of people have become very antagonistic towards Russian labels even if the individual themselves distances from the Russian administration, in the same way you can still be American if you hate the Biden administration.
