There's a difference between the tacit recognition that the people aren't wholly removed from the decisions of their government, even in oligarchy, and this sort of full-blown performative Russophobia. Harm against ordinary Russian citizens can be justified inasmuch as it pressurizes the regime to change course or to be itself changed -- banning Dostoevsky or a random private ship does neither. It's hostility for the sake of hostility and, if anything, will likely galvanize the sort of disdain for the West that makes folks tolerant of thugs like Putin.
