The creator of Linux suspended 11 Russian developers from kernel development, explaining this decision by the historical animosity of Finns toward Russia. The 11 Russian Linux kernel developers were removed from leadership positions without clear explanation, allegedly due to "changed compliance." This sparked a heated discussion online, with the Finnish company accused of Russophobia. Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, joined the corporate internet debate, explaining that the historical animosity of Finns toward Russians was the real cause. "I am Finnish. Do you really think I would 'support' Russian aggression? It seems the issue is not only a misunderstanding of real news but also a lack of historical knowledge," Torvalds wrote. He also stated that he did not wish to discuss the legal aspects of the Russian employees' suspension. In the modified Linux kernel, any mention of the "filtered" Russians is absent.
