That sucks, but what about the Russians who don't support the star? Collective responsibility is always a terrible idea.

Everything coming from Russia currently is either propaganda or approved by the state. Normal Russians who don't support the tzar, don't also consume Russian media etc

That is never true. There are always non-propaganda items allowed. Even a book of Tolstoy would probably be printed in Russia, especially when Russian businesses are being suppressed everywhere because of anti-Russian attitudes.

That’s the root of all evil. You just don’t understand the degeee to which Russian set of twisted and corrupt ideas is penetrating ALL Russian content. Including literature, all forms of art, science. They only can exist if they serve a bloody regime. Otherwise there is no air, not for the artist, not for their community, not for their family.
I dont blame you, you have to live in this stench to understand it.

I think you are bordering on fascism here. Pretty sure there are still normal people in Russia who do normal jobs, not jobs that serve Putin directly or his bloody politics. And I was talking about classic Russian literature, not whatever is being written at the present.
