lol the guys complaining about this. they are the same dudes that would have a school girl meltdown if Gloucester put a pride flag up. hands down.
i feel for Kirill. He didnt do anything. with putin getting almost a thousand soldiers people killed a day, Kirill most likely has family or friends that have died. just an unfortunate situation all around.
