It would, if it were based in reality, perhaps. There is a great deal of harsh talk about the Russian leadership in US media, but I see little of "everything Russian". I would have no trouble finding Americans with a deep knowledge of and love for most things Russian, but who are thoroughly against the Russian policy on Ukraine etc. (I do think it wrong that Russian artists, or for that matter athletes should be asked to denounce Russian policy as a condition of employment in the EU or the US; but for example the Russians of the National Hockey League play on.)

Frankly the "persecution by Ukrainian nationals" of language, of the church, sounds to American ears as if someone were singing off the Sudetenland songsheet.
