Come on, you understand what I mean. I'm just saying that I personally feel wrong to drow the line at that when looking for boycotting criteria.

I despise lots of government and I refuse to support, partake and work in anything involved directly with such government or strongly affiliated company. I think it's important to remember than people are not their government and that especially citizens of bad government need to see this kind of comprehension.

It's ok if you disagree, it's a complicated matter. Noone know the one true truth.

I don't. I don't support what the Russian government is doing and I want to provide a little funding towards the endeavors of which I do not approve as possible.

An amount that is not ₽0 would appear to enter Russian coffers if I buy this product, and it is possible to provide "< not 0" by not buying it.

people are not their government

Which is why I wouldn't have a moral problem with buying this product if I knew for a fact the producers were cheating on their taxes.
