I am deeply sorry for your relatives. I would like to point out that communism have killed way more people inside Russia itself.

Unfortunately, a great many number of people in Russia still do not understand the extent of damage that communism has inflicted on the country and its peoples. So basically you may just ignore me while many Russians still approve what was done not only to you but to themselves, but here my condolences go.

Yes, the so called communists managed to inflict the most damage to their own people. That sure is something

Being from Bulgaria, I've met plenty of Russians. We're friends with another family - guy is Russian, and his wife is Ukrainian. Plenty of baggage but the guy had enough self awareness to recognise what was going on nearly a decade ago when the war started.

Also, as a gamer, I am often matched with Russians on a regular basis. 9 out of 10 are the worst team mates ever. While annoying, I feel sorry for these guys because it's clear they are just victims. I can only imagine the hellish environment they have been brought into.
