    Not a Russian political expert, but the fact Putin keeps calling it “denazification” and a “special military operation” leads me to believe there’s a lot of people who don’t support a full blown war.

      Why do you say this?

      If 75% of russians support the “denazification” of Ukraine, that says a lot about them, no?

        Because if their government won’t give them the full story it implies they might not like it.

          So you’re saying russians genuinely believe that since 2014 they’ve been “fighting Nazism in Ukraine” and this is not a genocidal imperialist war?

          As I mentioned in my OP, you do know that every russian had uncensored youtube within a single click on their smartphone until the last month or so? Btw, the YT app is available in russian and there is a lot of russian language content.

          This makes no sense!

            I’m not saying they believe that, I’m just commenting on what their government is saying.

            I have very little knowledge on what the average Russian citizen thinks.
