  • Thanks for the info.

    Culturally they appear to favor authoritarianism, nationalism, and strong man mentality in their politics.

    Yeah, while I understand that there is an element of that that’s uniquely Russian, I mean that was also much of the world for much of history.

    But like you said, no easy answer.

    And yeah obviously the people I interact with outside of Russia will give a different perspective. I just always got the vibe from them that a large portion of the population resented Putin, but apparently that’s less of a vibe than I thought.


  • Putin still enjoys widespread public support, and the vast majority of the Russian public supports both the explicit goals of the war as well as the implicit ones

    Sources?

    Every Russian I’ve interacted with has expressed their distate for Putin.

    This is a problem bigger than Putin, bigger than the oligarchs, and bigger than the current regime.

    So could you explicitly point to what the problem is? Bc it seems to me that the oligarchs and Putin have been doing their best to brainwash and ensure that they remain in power, to the detriment of the Russian people.
