Because there's probably 40 players from Russia on the forum and maybe 5 from Ukraine that I've met. Biddas was the only one that was really on the forum full time.
It's okay.....
The hate is just the Russians lashing out because they know they are living in a Proto-Fascist Oligarchic Kleptocracy. There's nothing any of them can do about it and most of them are the children of the rich there anyways. The Crimean mistake will prove to be Putin's and 'New Russia's' worst one so far. It's further alienated them and has exiled them into 100 years of a one product economy with no hope of future economic development. 20 years from now, after Ukraine joins the EU and their GDP/capita climbs higher than Russia (like Poland's, The Baltic States's and the rest of the EU in Eastern Europe) Russia will still be trying to salvage something out of their slowly rusting heap of a country.
Always remember that the state of California has a higher GDP than Russia with 1/3 the people and Texas isn't far behind them either with 1/5 the people.
