    He was more bothered by the bad language they used towards him!
    He did not start this crazy war, he is simply a Russian who is against the war.
    Big respect Rublev!

      Yes, no war.
      Ukraine should stop attacking donets and cremia. Their people have the right to choose and they choose to go back to and united States of Russia Federation.

      @Senad Spahicc yes I know and that's what I'm speaking on, others would not have taken the words or the flag being flown in their face lightly, waving the flag behind him was meant to be an insult towards him as well as the words spoken

    An important lesson for all of us around the world.
    It’s not the citizens of ANY country doing the bullshit we all see and read about.
    We’re just people that want to make a living and be left the F alone!

      It's the citizens of Russia not objecting to the war is the problem.

      ​@Big Devoe the US were wrong, and so is Russia. Also, it really shows you didn't grow up in a democracy. If you had, you wouldn't want to trade it with anything else (unless you were already rich and powerful)

      Politics should be banned from sports, schools, businesses, and everything else they have no business in.
