As you can see, I hardly participate in forum discussions, but I still want to respond to Olegh's post.
Russia has committed genocide of Ukrainians and at the same time its own population, that is a fact. The country chose to kill Slavs and merge in patriotic ecstasy with North Korea. In Ukraine, defending their homeland, famous musicians in the Black Metal scene are also dying. People, whom I know personally for many years and just my colleagues, were forced to live in cellars for months at the beginning of the war, while shopping malls and neighboring buildings were burning next to their houses. And now the war is slowly but surely moving to the territory of Russia, Ukrainian drones are flying as far as Murmansk region, where I am from, because from local airfields planes are flying to bomb Ukrainian cities.
Yes, I don't know what war is and I don't want to try it on my own skin, but the country I live in now is a huge gulag, where people are imprisoned for giving a "like", for wrong attitude to this war, for calling the war a "war" and not a "special military operation", etc. Jailed for a long time and tortured in prison. No exaggeration. The infamous novel "1984" becomes a reality here, already literally. If I wrote a post of this kind in Russian social networks, most likely sooner or later there would be a knock on my door, because people are imprisoned here for less, rest assured. Nevertheless, my position is known to everyone - Ukrainians should not die for the geopolitical ambitions of one idiot who usurped power in the country and those who applaud him for it. Hell, there are a lot of them here, and even more who just don't give a damn. People in Europe are just as passive because many of them don't realize that these scum won't stop in Ukraine and will go on and don't care about casualties among their own and certainly not about the lives of Ukrainians and everyone else.
To be fair, I haven't noticed that Ukrainian bands or any releases dedicated to this war have been banned anywhere. As mentioned above by other forum members, most of the popular platforms do not like "questionable" content from their point of view, such as the banning of Youtube videos that mentioned the topic of covid a little earlier, because society is becoming too sensitive to "negative" information and big platforms are increasingly crossing the boundaries of common sense in their desire to please everyone. Nevertheless, there are compilations in support of Ukraine, including projects from Russia. Yes, there are only a few of them, but they are exist. But there are also BM bands and Noise\PE projects, with whom I had to break all relations and those who preferred not to communicate with me because of my position. Around me I prefer to create a space without this shit and not to participate in the gigs of people who are seen in at least indirect support of what we are talking about.
For Ukrainians now all Russians are enemies, unfortunately this is also a fact. Nevertheless, I personally want you, Olegh, and your family to do well. Glory to Ukraine!
