I'm American but speak enough Russian to read social media with frequent trips to the dictionary. Where should I go to talk with Russians and how they're seeing Putin's actions?
- tguvot 5y agoI won't know where you can go in order to get representative sample. But in general those are the main archetypes - People that are absolutely horrified. I saw more than once expression "i ashamed to be russian. i now understand how germans felt after wwii and their guilt generation later" - Totally oblivious to what is happening. In case they are shown footage of bombings they will say it's western fake - Kinda realize what happening but say "donbass was 8 years under shelling, now it's their time" - People who say "we are not interested in war or politics. can't we just finish conquering Ukraine so sanctions will end" (seriously) - People who know exactly what is happening and happy about this. "Long overdue. Should have been done in 2014" - People who really happy that there are sanctions because it will allow them to finally build independent from west country (lol)
