Hay, my nickname means “Russian”. And my real country of origin - Hungary was also not ideal until recently. I’ve heard a single instance in the past 40 years, that any of these caused any hatred showed up. And it didn’t even happen to me.
It’s nowhere near what my brother got because he has a darker complexion, and looks like a stereotypical Arab from far away.
So, are you sure that this hatred against the common folks?
I don't understand why you are being downvoted. If someone starts calling people Avi Goldstein in a thread about Israel I’m sure he'll get flagged to death in no time.
The overt hatred people here feel for Russians would make an antisemite blush. This is on the same level as calling random people Schlomo.

I think you are mistaking hatred toward the Kremlin for hatred toward the Russian people.
Please explain how calling random people stereotypical Russian names specifically represents hatred toward the Kremlin and not Russians in general.
