The sadder truth may be that Russians might not be interested in removing Putin. Decades of propaganda, murdering of opposition, and authoritarian response to protests has grown a people that largely believes in their leader and is also afraid to openly oppose authority.
- konart 5y agoThe sadder truth may be that you won't be getting anything much better than Putin from Russia in its current state.
- nine_zeros 5y agoThis is not true. Even just the opposition party leader Navalny is good enough. Good people exist in Russia. Putin just needs to be removed from the helm.

- konart 5y ago>This is not true. Even just the opposition party leader Navalny is good enough. Yeah, only because he's anti-Putin. People who follow internal deals more closely remember how he was marching with slogans "Russia for russians, Moscow for moscovians" and such. He always was very opportunistic in my opinion. I respect him for what he's done regarding investigations but he's not a president material. >Good people exist in Russia. Sure, but being a "good person" does not qualify you as president. No to mention that "good" is subjective. Many people see Putin as a good person.
- pvaldes 5y agoSo most Russians are innocent and suffer by unfair sanctions that should be directed instead towards people Pro-Putin, like most Russians claim to be? This looks like a circular argument.
