Anti-war protests in Russia. Statistics

This applies to you too: What's your point? More hate for Russian citizens? What do you hope to accomplish? You're flying the Ukrainian flag while making absurd, gross generalizations about the people of Russia. You are actually disparaging Ukraine when doing such things, by associating them with such petty ignorance. I wonder if that is your actual intent- to make Ukrainians look like unsophisticated, vindictive people by saying indefensible things about the largely innocent Russian populace while using the Ukrainian flag. Please understand that is what you are doing, whether it is your intent or not.

@Alex_1987

If you have reliable data about Russian public support for the current Russian government, just post the source here.

@Evelynamodifieddog did you copy-paste your post? Great job!
The point is there is strange and dangerous tendency in safe western countries to call russians innocent victims of their evil dictator. Which is an absolute bullshit. Because who else is in charge of russia if not russians? What we see today is the country russians successively created over many-many years - by their actions and inactivity. There is noone else to blame.

This discussion does not make sense if you trust in good russians and unicorns over statistic and real people street interviews. You can watch these forums at least what ordinary russian lichess users are writing about the war.

We can look for example here:
www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/08/russia-public-opinion-ukraine-invasion/

And the problems even with independent polls are obvious.
People autocensure themselves.

For example, before the Romanian revolution, the support for the dictator - Nicolae Ceaușescu - was nearly 100%.
The reality was different. After the "trial", people were fighting for the privilege to shoot Ceausescu and his wife.

I did copy and paste, well spotted, you must be team leader. Despite your efforts, I won't hate the people of Ukraine, no matter how bad you try to make them look by proxy. Give up.

I don't care about anecdotal evidence. I care about truth. And you cannot understand reality without reliable data.

@Evelynamodifieddog dude, I am glad you support Ukraine, but please stop posting insults to people based on assumption like you understand anything.

If you can't believe your eyes, then there are no proves for you, true. It's the same with russians who honestly believe in nazis in Ukraine and no facts can change their mind.

I will try to explain.
My point to stop this bullshit about "innocent russian population". I provide results of public polls, statistics about anti-war protests in russia, give links to russian forums. You drop empty words - I constantly confirm my posts by links. Russian population are praise bloody maniac. Russian population are support war, Russian population ARE guilty.

But provided by me facts don`t fit into your image of world. So you are annoyed. You cann`t to object facts, so you tried attack me personally.
I don`t care.
