I just read it (it was really short). But they don't even go that far. They had a poll percentage for Br*tish that dislike the Russian government, but then say that there have only been 5 anti-Russian violent hate crimes in the first two months of the war, and the government still hasn't fully cut off all immigration from Russia. Then quotes/stories from Russian immigrants saying they don't hate living in Britain.
paywall, but im gonna bet the survey was something like
do you dislike the russian government? yes/ no
do you personally consider yourself bigoted or racist towards people of russian descent? yes/ no
I don't even bother trying to circumvent the economist paywall anymore. The headline + Lenin quote tells me everything I need to know.
