I think the main thing to understand is that these have been the actions of the Russian government, not necessarily individual Russian citizens. This seems like overkill to me.
To be clear, in no way am I giving Russia a free pass, obviously what they've done is reprehensible; I just know that there are a lot of Russian citizens who would also agree with that statement.
not shocked the white left agrees with more state repression against a minority they dislike
