It's not cowardly to avoid wearing controversial shirts. There are nuts everywhere just look for reasons to be set off.

The OP seems genuinely concerned about hostile treatment just for being Russian. Trying to look inconspicuous won't help if you're cornered in an alley by an angry mob.

Choose your risk.

Maybe I'm just brave, because I find that cowardly. But then what kind of word do we use to describe Ukrainians - heroic, I guess.

Wearing a shirt with profanity printed on it is not heroic.

Civil disobedience is balancing act between "what will inspire revolution" and "what will get me killed". Wearing a FUCK PUTIN shirt in Moscow, today, is almost certainly heroic.

Wearing it in Egypt? The OP knows better than us. It might simply be self-preservation. I won't fault him either way.
