Russian population, in substantial numbers, supports this fascism and this neo-colonialism.
I don't think we know this or can know this: gathering anything like accurate information from Russia is impossible. There is likely much preference falsification happening, along the lines described by Timur Kuran: https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674707580 https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674707580.
- randunel 4y agoWe can't know this per se, but we can estimate it, even from mere anecdotal data gathered all 'round. All of my Russian friends and colleagues claim the same thing about the people they know in the boomer generation and even younger, relatives or not.
