The number of Russians who say their salary does not cover basic spending has jumped by 20 percentage points in two years to almost half, a survey by recruiter Headhunter showed, as Moscow diverts record fiscal resources to funding its war in Ukraine.
How does this support manifest? I’m asking, because there are no real signs. Russian army is struggling to find soldiers and Putin is afraid to start another wave of mass-mobilization.
If somebody echoes propaganda, it doesn’t mean that they support anything. There are no actions confirming this support.
There are many more nuances. I suggest reading at least one book on yhe topic of political science and listening to some lectures before coming to conclusions on such a complex matters.
The link you attached already mentions that isnt accurate. Not everyone living in Russia will publicly annouce they are against their government even if they are.
I don’t and there are many records of Germans who helped Jews and acted against Hitler so why blame everyone. Hate the actual Nazis not the commoners who had no choice.
Mate you’re the one making assumptions here as I even said seem to despite people literally saying its hard to sympathize with Russians. Either way this is going in a completely unrelated direction and pointless to argue more.

Have some empathy. These aren’t oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.
It is however people that in very high degree support their president.

For real. Just because Putin is a Bond villain doesn’t make every citizen of Russia one of his goons.
I have a hard time squaring that sentiment with information like this:

Me neither but can you say the same about others in this thread or the comment we are replying to? They seem to actually wish harm to all Russians.

Define “we”. I don’t know anyone doing that, bar impulsive people on social media.
And? The Russians are the bad guys invading Ukraine. Did you forget that?
The invaders are Russian but most Russians have no real control over their government. It’s easy to suggest “then revolt” when that’s not you.
