See the person, not the nationality x

I have stop coming on to this site and many others in the last year, in some sites I am not allowed to call myself Russian any more or to have a Russian flag in a profile. This is the World for the moment and I understand the sensitivity for people.

But I am person, not a nationality. And I should not be ashamed of where I come from, of my parents and grandparents who were all good people and who have made me who I am and always teach me to be fair and to be respectful to others.

I open my profile again on stie and is always messages from people to be anti-Russian to me, this war is not me. Also, there is pro-Russia messages from right wing people in USA and Germany and UK - I am not right wing, I am not fascist, and again I say this war is not me.

So please, see the person, not the nationality. My mother's family is from Ukraine and I have a lot of relative is still live in this country. The situation is horrible. Its make me cry every day to think about this. I live in Paris now and have not been home to Russia in maybe 6 months, my mother is still there, my sister and her family - it is not so easy now to go to visit. I have family and friends in all over Europe, this situation is difficult for every body.

I only want for peace to find a way, and for the return to the way is before.

So please don't blame me for the war, and please don't expect me to agree with right wing views.

No war will last forever and it seems u r ashamed to call urself a russian n u feel like a bad person

its ur thinking that is effecting u
no one can effect u if u dont allow that

As a person who read about this war
how it all started with wanting to be member of nato then not resigning
and continuing a war

the history of soviet union is quite sensitive how it broke apart explains why fear leads to war

its true one attacked the other but why let ur people die just to be in a political office n putting debt as every other day we read about new loan for weapons

people = country will pay that debt over time

infrastructure is gone people r dying for what

great leader worries about people however a politican doesnt

i am sure both sides people in general want peace ur history / forefathers connect u

i find this war odd , stupid n sad
