    I do know many fine Russians, including plenty who are horrified by their country’s imperial ambitions.

      You’ve missed a key part of my point, though. If that Russian was shouting “say Ukraine again! I’ll kill you!” at people associated with an aid group, would you assume he’s an anti-imperialist Russian good guy or would you assume he’s fully bought in to nationalism and aggression towards his perceived enemy?
