It is better to avoid political debates, especially if someone is uncomfortable and OP could use one of the practical advices he got from here. But if OP still identifies partly as a Russian even after immigration, then war is no reason to hide that part of the identity and live in a closet. Trying to do so will create psychological stress, shame etc. which he/she doesn't need to accept as well. | |

There's no requirement to tell everyone in the office personal details like religion and ethnicity, and in fact it could create complications if there are e.g. allegations of discrimination, as well as causing other more minor disputes. Not talking about politics or religion in the office is a good rule for a harmonious workplace. | |
