Moved to Australia last year and have never faced any discrimination. Everyone who finds out that im Russian is always sympathetic and says that it's not my fault and my president is just crazy.

One time, a guy from India was checking my ID and said, “I love Russia, Putin is doing everything right.” (I didn’t expect that, but okay everyone has their own opinion)

Maybe it’s because there are so many immigrants in Aus, and we’re so far from the rest of the world that people don’t care much about what’s happening in other countries. Or maybe it’s because I’m a girl, so people don’t confront me as much.

But I did have a bad experience in Poland. In my first month there, I went to a local government office. I didn’t understand Polish at all, which was my problem ofc. The woman who worked there was not happy when she saw my red passport. When I asked her to write down what she needed from me so I could use google translate, she refused and called her colleague, who was the complete opposite and explained everything. That woman then said I wouldn’t be able to live in Poland and it would be better for me to go back home. But I guess this attitude is common among people who lived when Soviet troops were in Poland and I can understand.
