Hubski is a pretty small bar. Stepping on feet from time to time is inevitable. You're also an ESL speaker with a different cultural background than America/Western Europe so there's some additional struggle there. Everyone here is actually pretty quick to forgive and forget.

As for people in the west hating Russia? Maybe it's from where I'm standing, but we don't see everyday citizens as villains, no matter what country you're from. You're all trying to get by just as much as we are. Hell, if you come here you'd probably pretty much be greeted with open arms. And with an accent? Shoot, ladies would be tripping over themselves to get a chance to talk to you. American girls love foreign accents.
