Does the average person in Russia worry about retaliation from their government if they voice disapproval of Putin’s actions in Ukraine or is that only for higher up like heads of companies etc who fall out 4th floor windows?
Imagine most of the average Russians are either afraid to say or do anything, or like in st Petersburg and Moscow have been insulated from the worst so far.
Those who say Russians will take and take and never revolt have forgotten 1991 and 1917.
Seems it takes a lot, but there is a limit even for Russians
Im sure Putin is feeling the pressure from too many mothers getting their sons back in body bags. Hes paying out a fortune to every family who loses someone. He’s also offering very high enlistment bonuses.
