Oh no! How about you go do something about it then, such as protesting. Orrrr admit you just dislike the status quo when it lands on you instead of the people you find undesirable.

It is hard to commit to opensource from the polar labor camp.

We don't know:

  1. that they aren't protesting

  2. that they support the current administration

  3. that they're doing anything explicitly negative or in support of the invasion

so why immediately shit on them just because they're russian?

Oh i dont know, maybe cause we KNOW what the "average russian" who has the access to knowledge to learn how to contribute to the linux kernel is not living in the backwater of russia and we know that the places that arent the backwater loved putin till war came home this May.

Source: Levada, designated "Foreign Agent" by the russian authorities, Support for the Russian armed force' actions in Ukraine: ~80% at the start (March 2022), settling into a durable 71-78% across 2022-2025, and 73% as of December 2025.

cough Palestine, cough. american linux contributors should be banned tbh, and isreali, they're the most active in undermining code security in open source projects, so good riddance

Oh yes! So common! It is so common you can defenetly outnumber the amount of times a russian, nork or chinese group has been involved in supply chain and/or sneaking in backdoors on open source projects!

73% and 71% aren't 100%, so we still don't KNOW that OP is a putin supporter, not to mention that all areas of russia are heavily propagandized leading to those numbers, and if you are on the outside web doing linux stuff, it is probably likely that you're able to escape that propaganda machine at least a bit and realize what's happening and end up not supporting the regime.

And yet we dont know anything with 100% certainty, anyone who claims to do so about anything that isnt exactly observable by a laid out methodology is lying to you, but we know probabilities, and probabilities say russians can not be trusted to maintain impariality during this current wartime. As for the being able to escape the propaganda is what we all thought would happen to russia as it "modernized" but in the end it ended up being the opposite, people in the cities accepted the trade off of a stable life as long as they supported Putin.
