.ZeeshanAleem: Russians in the West who oppose the war are a crucial ally in the fight. They shouldn't be stigmatized using methods that whip up xenophobia.
Depressingly,that a notable number of the people facing boycotts of their Russian or Russian-affiliated services or products are in fact Ukrainian or partially Ukrainian, something their critics are either ignorant of or don't care about. And some of the Russian vodkas being tossed out are in fact.
Attacking a person or an institution for being Russian or Russian-looking without regard for their position on the war is not expressing solidarity with Ukraine. This phenomenon is dehumanizing an entire nation in which a select group of people are actually responsible for the atrocities going on in Ukraine. That dehumanization can make us blind to the effects of harsh policies, such as a sanctions regime without limits that ultimately could cause ordinary Russians to suffer en masse while having limited effects on Russia’s political class.
There are all kinds of ways to declare solidarity with Ukrainians and oppose Russia's imperialistic war, such working and lobbying to send aid to Ukraine, opening up the country to Ukrainian refugees, and finding ways to support Russian dissidents against the war. Russians and Russian-Americans in the West who oppose the war are a crucial ally in the fight.
