Ok, thanks for this info - it is unacceptable and below the lowest level from his side. For this I despise him.

Still, all the hatred and memes appeared _before_ the war, so it is an example for other OSS developers of what they will get for their hard work.

Again, I didn't mean that people hate him only because he is Russian. I meant that weak people will use every excuse they can find to blame him. Nationality, felony, bad accent, even his quotes about the war - all of that was not so important when people decided to use his work, but all of that they use now to bark with the pack.
