I know lots of Russians that support Putin, unfortunately. I wish it were as simple as Putin was acting alone but he is a popular Russian figure.

- gip 5y agoI have family / friends in Russia and outside Russia and I’m seeing the same thing: Putin is popular. I suspect it had to do with how the Russian identity is build. I keep telling these people that a country is defined by what it does in the world, not by what it is or was. But at the end of the day I think a lot of them consider Russia as a « powerful » country that should have an empire.
- shrimp_emoji 5y agoI think if you multiply the number of Russians who protested against the Ukraine invasion by 100, it's 1% of Russians, max.
