This is super sad. Not sure I would blame casual citizens who just want to live in peace - russophilic or not. We can't assume they stayed in Mariupol because they were pro russian.
Somewhat similar stuff hapenned here in Lithuania when soviets came. They imposed new laws about "optimum square footage per person" and there are plenty of stories where, if you had a house, a house would be confiscated and divided into 4 flats.
If you were lucky enough you would get a flat and some new neighbours - if not - a ticket to gulag.
