Fair enough – it certainly isn’t endangered the way actual minority languages are, and it’s more *oppressor* than oppressed with Putin in power next door.
Moreover, Putin’s believe that people speaking Russian in a country makes it fair game for invasion also makes Russian a problem in a way no other language is. If he wants Russian to be more accepted, maybe he should renounce that policy?
