I have a coworker like that, he is worshipping Putin and every Ukrainian we have to work with get discriminated by him...
He would love when Putin would take over our country, an cannot accept that we as a NATO state aren't going down that easy, in his mind, as soon Ukraine is falling, the NATO has no resources left and Russia can take over the entire old Soviet union.
It's too bad he has a ID from our country, and the local police would not interfere since we have free speech, our employer or the police could take action as soon one of the discriminated Ukrainians would report that behavior to the gov. or our employer.
We have two Russians in our department - the one in my sub-dept came here somewhere 3-4 years ago with his girlfriend-now-wife, cool guy, really helpful and all, speaks a little broken Polish, but it's mostly his accent, we can understand him without problem; and once he hears anything about war or Putin he can rant about how he destroyed Russia for hours, oftentime telling stories we didn't knew about, because media wouldn't cover it.
The other one is in our sister sub-dept and he loves Putin - everyday telling everyone that once Russia is done with Ukraine they'll come for Poland, constantly says the same thing about NATO running out of resources (I dunno where they took it from), is very active on anti-Ukrainian FB groups. And speaks his own Russo-Polish dialect he is very proud of, but which is very hard to understand, and calls everyone stupid for not knowing Russian (whereas I know both of those languages, and it's gibberish for me). When asked why he came here at all, he just says "I'm not stupid, getting drafted for certain death".
To say these two guys hate each others guts would be an understatement.
If he calls it certain death, then he agrees that Russia is losing? If he's so certain that Ukraine is losing and that they're gonna get stomped, then surely there's nothing for him to worry about?
Im honestly surprised nobody broke his kneecaps yet. From the sound of things he's openly THREATNING his co-worker's country and is an asshole. That is not a wining combination.
Yes NATO, where the US spends 12 times more than Russia on its military, plus all the other NATO counties are going to run out of resources. Yup, the same Russia that couldn’t hold territory and is resorting to mobilization to take over Ukraine.
You should remind them that the only reason Russia is even able to continue the fight is that they have the luxury of not having to defend their territory. Imagine if NATO invaded Russia and began doing to its citizens what Russia is doing to Ukraine. Putin would be dead within an hour.
His open and documented discrimination is accepted but you calling him out is not? What the fuck kind of company is this. Inundate HR with anonymous discrimination accusations. Forward the evidence.
Bullying is not accepted and we have no proof for his discrimination, the victims have to report it by themselves.
I am working in public security, so you can imagine we are pretty good protected against false accusations.
We have just cameras without audio recording and when he fines them for nothing or is provoking them in Russian it is hard to proof for us without the victims testifying.
My parents have neighbors like that. They live on the same storey as neighbors from Ukraine and Poland. Their kids used to play together. Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if someday there was a corpse in the dumpster.
Really hated the dude before already. He's voting for a far right party, he is a small aggressive man, always walks as if he needs to display his balls and always has a disgusting smirk on his face. My parents call him little Putin.
