How to block Russian opponents?

Is it possible to exclude Russian players from the opponents base you are paired with? Don’t want to play Russians. And yes, I know not not all Russians support the war. But hard to tell…

You can't block by actual or self reported location.

If you delete your account it will prevent any Russians from playing with you

Bro this is straight up racism.

Russia/Russian isn't a race. 

But even so, it makes no sense to dislike or wanna block people because of their country.

Do not mix a simple board game with politics

chess.com already did by blocking Russian flag on Russian players so why not

I would lie to block all Russians that can and will beat me. The other Russians of course are welcome, both of them.

This is extremely racist. Russian people are nice. If you're refering to the political thing that we can't talk about here, well the people in that country didn't ask for that. Imagine if your country's leader said something wrong, will that be your fault ?

Everyone, thanks for all your comments and feedback. 

I see that this was a bad comment, and I do apologise.

Interesting double negative.

@NervesofButter-----then you'll be interested in @autobunny's bumped thread (a.k.a., resurrected zombie thread), Chess.com Community Forum Page, wherein he/she/it waxes poetic over that very thing...

However there are many examples: Russians being banned entering with visas in several countries, Wimbledon banning Russian tennis players, director Gergiev cancelled, etc. Even chess.com hiding the flag. Yes, many Russiand are against war, but on the other hand many sustain it and voted for the leader.
