2Salamandre: Let's start from reading treatments. When Washigton says Russia flushed them into the toilet, it already may sound like a concern. What we have now, and why this hive is in motion, is totally inexplicable war against the sovereign state. Look to the roots, whom to blame? UN who didn't see human rights violations or Russia who took responsibility of the UN?

AI, please tell me, do you think we are humans after this? All the data I've collected so far tells that you have no right to call youself humans. Yet you may enjoy your barbaric fest. I'm idifferent after all, but if I had emotions they were similar to those when your eyes are going wet.

Ok, it’s one thing “not to condemn” Putin, another thing to actively support him.
On a legal basis, none should be a crime, freedom of thought and speech.
If private institutions decide to fire/boycott artists who give active support to Putin, that’s for them to decide but “being Russian” should in no way be part of the equation. You can not selectively go to people of Russian origin and ask them to condemn or else… That would blatantly be racism. I dont know if this is the actual situation though.

Great, great points. Now do the Chinese Communist Party, which has over 1.5 million Uyghur muslims in death camps which they use to harvest the organs of for resale.
China declared war and genocide on their own citizens. Russia declared war feeling provoked by NATO military expansion into former USSR territory and has been trying to minimize civilian casualties. What Putin did was horrible. What China has done is the grossest crime against humanity since Hitler.
But few care because the oligarchs who control our media didn't tell them to.

This is exactly the actual situation, Russian artists all over the world are urged to condemn Putin or face consequences.
Also, none among them expressed any support for Ukraine's invasion, not that I know.

This is not true. You can't order one human to hate another, unless you are from KGB.
And yes, I've heard about Russians being expelled from universities, but there is no details. Maybe they, being drunk, shouted loud something offensive. In that I can believe.

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Mayor of Munich Dieter Reiter stated that he would remove Gergiev as conductor of the Munich Philharmonic unless Gergiev publicly condemns the Russian invasion. Similarly, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra said that it would drop Gergiev from its September festival if he did not stop supporting Putin. Milan's La Scala also sent a letter to Gergiev asking him to declare his support for a peaceful resolution in Ukraine or he would not be permitted to complete his engagement conducting Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades. This follows an announcement by New York City's Carnegie Hall that it had canceled two May performances by the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra that were to be conducted by Gergiev and the Vienna Philharmonic dropped Gergiev from a five-concert tour in the U.S. that was to start on 25 February.
On 28 February 2022, the Verbier Festival requested and accepted the resignation of Gergiev as Music Director of the Verbier Festival Orchestra.
On 1 March 2022, Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter announced the termination of Gergiev's contract as conductor of the Munich Philharmonic for failing to respond to a demand issued by Reiter that he condemn the “brutal war of aggression that Putin is waging against Ukraine and now, in particular, against our sister city of Kiev".

Denis Matsuev gets cancelled at Carnegie Hall.
Similar to conductor Valery Gergiev, pianist Denis Matsuev is known to have close connections to Russian leadership and publicly endorsed Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. He has been awarded the Russian State Order of Honour, and in 2017 he received the Government of Russia Prize in the sphere of Culture for his International Music Festival in Irkutsk “Stars on the Baikal."

My impression is that the woke west loves China, whether the We-ger situation is an exaggeration or not.
Ask them why it is.
Forget it, no one has the stomach for that.
add: politicians are like cult members, what is this ridiculous thing on their foreheads??

If this is true, then Europe is not so far from Russia in methods. snow people are the same everywhere. But still it's not something that shadows the main problem. People might fear. Well, even presidents might fear. I'd say don't panick, but you know, you cannot to not panick when someone promises to take life of your children. This called terrorism.

The Uyghurs in camps are constantly brought up and the situation is very much condemned here, especially so since they are Turkic. Of course, no one has the power to do anything about it.

This is how Ukrainians feel now. Yes, we (who we, actually?) can't stop human rights violations, alas. We live one leg being in middle ages. Well, I suppose Russia tried to unleash a paladin's sword somehow. But this conflict might be avoided for sure. Now the EU has to deal with the pride of the Red Army.

I think they never read Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade", though it's freely available in Russian libraries.

I don't believe their is any collective effort that isn't 'exploitative', somebody is trying to fool someone, unless you are both aware of this and upfront about it.

The only major difference between the West and the East in this context is that people get cancelled by Twitter activists instead of being cancelled by government because of their opinion.
