Many Jews got killed in the 40s because they'd registered themselves as Jews many years back, way before Hitler was a thing.

A lot of Ukrainians suddenly found themselves on Russian [claimed] soil and under Russian jurisdiction just a few months ago.

There are certain nations before which I'm not going to incriminate myself, out of precaution, Russia and China among them.

If my country suddenly becomes Russian or China occupied territory, them having my search history is very far down my list of worries.

They may send killers just for you. For example, they are killing Holodomor researchers around the world (genocide of Ukrainians in 1932-1934: 25 millions were starved to death, 20 millions are recorded as Russian, millions were killed or executed).

No, they won’t, because I’m nobody to them.

If you’re some kind of public enemy of Russia, maybe don’t use Russian services of any variety.
