I assume that people don't want to talk to reporters because of the bad image cast on them. I mean having a mass murderer in your community and not identifying him people may think that you're either dumb or you were actively ignoring it. After the war people mostly tried to forget about the Nazis as a coping mechanism for their common guilt.

In these days I think deliberately displaying the Russian flag on one's profile has to be interpreted as supporting Russia's government. Regarding "Russia and Belarus exist as countries, and removing their flag does not change that" - no one wants to remove Russia nor Belarus as countries but Russia wants to do so with Ukraine with the help of Belarus. I also would have wished for Lichess to communicate their stance more quickly.
