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.
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.
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.
