The Russo-Ukrainian war has put some Swedish Russians in a conflicted position where they experience a sense of simultaneous powerlessness and responsibility over the war. Based on ethnographic data gathered through person-centred interviews, this study examines how they morally navigate this position. From the perspective of first-person virtue ethics and narrative self, I explore how three Swedish Russians’ sense of self has been affected, as well as how their situation manifests in moral practice, finding it to be processes characterised by intersubjective reflection and moral modification directed not just inwards, but outwards as well.Â
