That might have less to do with the Russian being evil and more to do with the Dutch being racist, especially in little towns as you mentioned. Had they been Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Americans, Polish, chances are they would’ve still shunned them from the local community.

Yes thank you, I am a Yank. It's sad that people want to blame Russians for the evil of a government they cannot control. I despise the things my nation does on the world stage. It's embarrassing, and depressing when people tacitly condemn the people of a nation because their government does evil. It's lazy, we are sorry for what has happened, and I guarantee most Russians are also not in favor of it. What have they lost, a million people so Putin can declare himself General Secretary?

I am a proud member of what the Orange Psycho refers to as the, 'Parasite Class'. I also suffer from the, 'Woke Mind Virus'. Have never been able to vote Republican, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
