#so I've just gone through the blog of that dostoyevsky person #and while I used to think they were yet another westerner who majored in russian/Eastern Eur (which in many unies also means russ studies) #hence the interest in russia with the sprinkle of russophilia #and the typical attitude of the russian liberals #'yes putin bad but Ukraine not good too and us russians are poor things' #now when I've seen just how selective they are in what they post about Ukraine #that is reblogs about an instance of questionable treatment of rus pows or racism in Ukraine #or Zelenskyy saying smth about missiles landing in Poland before it was determined how it happened and therefore 'escalating' #info which is mostly true but actually cherry-picked and not representative of a bigger picture #which also skews the perspective on the war a lot #that all makes me think that they are one of these people really dangerous for us #even to think of their post about the Kyiv Rus inheritance claims #smth that is so irrelevant in the Ukr spaces #but presented as the issue on par with imperialistic wars of conquest #it's very deliberate #shouldn't have engaged with that post at all #a waste of time
