What are you doing in the West?
All Russian citizens should be deported unless they could prove that before their exodus they actively fought against Putin (protests, photos, police charges).
I'm so sick of fake refugees from Belarus in Poland. 95% of them became 'political refugees' just after graduating from University and ran to Poland for work. (without completing their mandatory few years of work in Belarus as exchange for their state sponsored university studies).
Similarly Russian citizens suddenly after the war are also political refugees ;) I never met even single Russian on poland nor claiming otherwise. Same for Belarusan MAN (women diffrently)
This is so demoralizing.
I feel your take will be taken down soon as it’s not the place for such discussion.
Just food for thought: what makes you to feel so entitled to judge people place of living? You know how we are not choosing where to be born and our mobility is restricted a lot of times? Is your separation for man and women comes from religion or other bias to categorize them?
Russia is our enemy. Simple as that. It's bizarre to allow those people in the west (everybody suddenly is a refugee which is fake) .
This is the literal job of state security. Besides, most of those $#@$###s get in not by pretending they've been persecuted, but simply because they already have deep cover and hold passports of other countries.
And I sincerely hope that you will never have to know what it's like to flee your own country, first hand. Peace.
The Russian government or the Russian people?
Oh look at you, how easy for you to demand of others that they put themselves in danger before you deem them worthy of protection. "You must have proof you've been arrested by Putin's police before we let you in here!". So they must risk the chance of immediate imprisonment in a freezing Siberian dungeon before you open your generous doors...
And graduates working for the Belarussian state, why is that acceptable and not considered as "conspiring with the war criminals" in your eyes? What other barriers are there that you have in your mind we don't know about, for someone who's worked as expected, and fled the country afterwards?
Fuck you. I have many people here (many of them queer) who had to leave everything and become forced emigres or asylum seekers.
Have a bit of compassion, would ya?
My childhood crush is in Ukraine (I mean, he's Ukrainian), my dear friend (Ukrainian) had to leave everything and seek refuge in NL. My friends (Russian) are under a constant threat of getting imprisoned for 10+ years because they still help support queer and trans people in Russia.
Compared to them I feel very privileged, because I was able to GTFO on my own. But if you think that all Russian citizens must be deported, you're either a troll or a madman. Besides, this is exactly what, for example, Stalin did to Chechens, or think about what the USA did to the Japanese.
Did it help someone? No. Did it ruin millions of lives? You fucking guess.
upd: made it all clearer, and sorry for all the profanity
