That's interesting. Did it impact the treatment of Russian immigrants living in The Netherlands? Or were there nationalistic songs written by the Dutch equivalent of country music artists or anything like that?
I remember hearing about MH-17 but it was kind of a blip on the anti-russian radar in the states
As I did not know any Russian at that time, it is hard for me to answer that with certainty but I suspect not. I currently live in Berlin and know many Russians and even with the Russia-Ukraine war going on, Germans seem to be quite good at separating Russians from the Russian government. So I suspect that was the case as well in The Netherlands.
As for nationalist music, that concept is so culturally foreign here that you would not be considered to be mentally 100% if you listened to or wrote such a song.
Huh. Good to know, thanks. Americans go hard with the patriotism. Like, do you have sports team fans that are so into their team that its their whole identity? We have people that are like that with the country, loads of them. They put flags everywhere and, sadly, they write songs. Not good ones mind you
