Regional orchestras employ a lot of Russians
Many Russians work in Czech regional orchestras. They are not troublesome people, they are quiet and they are used to listening to Russians. I never minded their simpler mentality and I always understood that they had fled their native country. But when the war in Ukraine started, my attitude towards them changed, because although they fled Russia because of poverty and went for a better life, I dare to guess that more than 90% of them are rooting for Putin. But they will never admit it out loud, let alone condemn Putin. They may live here, but they have no relationship with this country. They just take advantage of the Western way of life. Their Russian mindset is always about the same thing, how everyone wants to fuck them, who they would fuck and where they get free coffee in a cup. It’s not fair to young Czech musicians who have just graduated and would like to play somewhere but there’s no room for them. They don’t talk about it anywhere because there might be a fuss.
