I'm so sorry ordinary Russians have to go through this stigma that Putins war carries. This isn't a war of "Russians" against Ukraine, it is Putins war. And while it's hard not to cheer for the underdog I hope that everyone can stop giving ordinary Russians a hard time.
This isn't me "preaching", but verbalizing to myself (first and foremost) of how I want to act in every moment, and how I respond to violence from the comfort of a (currently) safe country when my lizard brain is under perpetual bombardment with visuals of horror and injustice.
