    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?

          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.
