> The russian citizenry are not (directly) responsible for Putins insanity they are and alot of them still support both Putin and this "special operation"

  While you might attribute this to them being terrible wastes of humanity. I'd suggest it's probably no specific flaw on the Russian people besides their indiscriminate exposure to brainwashing state propaganda. I have a hard time blaming people for doing exactly what their environment programs them to.

    > While you might attribute this to them being terrible wastes of humanity Your words not mine, I do love Russian people and the culture but Putin cult of personality is sick it makes the whole of society rotten. Russian people are not naive they need to understand they are being brainwashed and stand up for themselves, they could in the times of Perestrojka and can do it now.

      > they could in the times of Perestrojka and can do it now They didn't and they most probably won't. Perestroika was a top-down change, not some kind of a people's revolution, they just rode the wave.

        Yes and to be clear I'm talking about the military coup and Boris Yeltsin at the collapse of Soviet Union that happened with the support of common people.
