      I have met some Russians in my community (MA) and they have all mentioned that they are scared of the censorship their relatives are now facing in russia. I remember hearing one of their nephews got a visit from the local police department for their social media activity.

      This was at a local repair cafe, and I was sharpening tools. Got to see some cool old Soviet shears, scissors and knives.

              That fucking sucks. The Russian/Slavic community here (new england, USA) is very hospitable, and many Ukrainians and Russians moved here after the “special military operation”. The local bazaar was even handing out free care packages to displaced Ukrainians.
