one of the many Russians

Ok, racist. You can blame governments for certain actions, but blaming ethnicities, especially when the form of government has changed 180° two times in the past century, just shows you're a racist nationalist.

Funnily enough, Lenin's ethnicity is contested, but his patronymic "Ilich" doesn't necessarily suggest that he's ethnically Russian. Sorry that your country has been brainwashed for the past 3 decades to hate an entire nationality. You can blame the current Russian government for any oppression they're carrying out in your country if it's the case, and that's very legitimate, but don't be a racist prick and don't blame a nationality.
