Not every Russian person on the real planet is engaging in invasion of Ukraine, let alone every Russian character in the fictional multiverse. Putin and his government being bad doesn’t preclude us from acknowledging that Russian people and culture exist. Just don’t write a Russian character who also advocates for colonialism or conquest.

I plan to write a new character who's part-Russian, but considering the current social climate, would this be in bad taste?

The character has never been to Russia and can't speak a word of Russian though 😝
