"Surely there must be answers somewhere?" is just the sort of thing that somebody who values logical intelligences over other intelligences (i.e. HN readers) and who lives in a non-totalitarian state would say.

Frustratingly, all things are not explainable.

But no, Russia is not waging war on civilians. "Putin said so."
