It also carries a danger. My grandmother lived through WWII in a very conscious way, and to her death many decades later she would not so much as look at anybody from Germany, that ran extremely deep. And she was the most gentle person you can imagine, but not on that front. By exposing the whole world to what is happening here in real time you pretty much guarantee that Russia as a country will be isolated for years to come, which in and of itself carries risks.
