 How much what? (usually it is me eating words 😀)

 Yup. Hate. Not sure how I flubbed that... 😅

Sure, it might be wrong, but... It's really, really hard to overcome those kinds of cultural prejudices.

 No. Definitely no. Otherwise i would hate turks, bulgarians, albanians, english, you too😀.
Only idiots hate judging by nationality.

 Finland has quite unpleasant history with Russia, which does not make it simpler...
You might be right, but there seems to be more than just someone being an idiot ;) I admit I'm too lazy to go into all details. That's why I prefer not to form a strong opinion. Of course you can do that ;)
It's really unfortunate. Let's see how other projects will handle it.
Hope it will be resolved positively.

 Yes it is far more than just him being an idiot. That's why i mentioned the NDA stuff. I just focused on him. I think he well deserved that. 
I might forget everything if there is a positive outcome as you say
