From public perception, for sake of business, I do agree with the others that you may want to consider replacing the nickname and avatar.

Maybe you are Russian, who was living or born in Ukraine. It is in your best interest to keep a low profile, and do not openly advertise yourself as Russian. "Strangers" are very divided, and some are dangerously stupid. However when choosing your community, and the people you are going to socialize or do business with, do not hide who you are. Carefully choose to be around those people who are tolerant and in fact open minded right now, during this crisis, as to not hate all Russians.

Recently I was at a restaurant in California, with half the clients Russians and the other half Ukrainian. Here there was common support for one another. However in another group, a few older Russians living in the USA came out in support of Putin. They have a right to their opinion, but WTF. They are living fantastic life in the USA, and can be brainwashed by their choice of media, CNN, FOX, RussianTV, etc. And they without shame openly told everyone there position on the invasion. Very fast they became isolated small group. Honestly its good for everyone. No reason to hate, but I believe that you should only keep friends, family and business partners who have a similar opinion as your own.

Okay back to work!
I was choosing my online identity and branding about 20 years ago.
Seems, that it's time to renew it ;)
