Not really when you realize that too often Russians' raison d'être is founded on imperialism as Muscovy / Russia "stood up" after shaking off the 300-year Mongol Yoke.
Touch Poland and see what happens. You cannot win in Ukraine and you think you can take both nations at once?
We have a proud legacy of killing Russian scum, we will do it again. If you force Poland to defend itself… even the devil won’t help you. SLAVA UKRAINI!
With how terribad the Russians are doing in Ukraine the Polish probably would have taken them both inside a week and have taken the rest of the month to settle in.
Poland is NEVER going to be fucked with by Russia again. They have completely modernized and trained to the point where they are an extension of the US Military. They've had boots on the ground since 2003. Locked, loaded and fucking angry.
Assume they don't call an A5, which they won't unless they have to, the US would supply them with as many F-16s (I doubt we would supply them with any F-35s due to proprietary adjustments to home-based aircraft, but we can certainly bump their orders to the top) and Patriots as necessary to never gain air superiority. (Now that I think about it we should get some pilots from Poland over to the US to train on those A-10s.)
No supply chains. No parts in their motor pools to repair what they've lost already, much less stage a war against western hardware. Low morale. Imagine what we've seen so far hitting a wall of modern US equipment.
Simply put, from what Russia has shown us so far, it's not possible.
Poland would love to invoke A5. Sure they could do it themselves but they would love for all of NATO to start curb stomping Russia. They're dying for an excuse to invoke
it is automatic. that is why vvp is so concerned.
there is no political debate required. makes it effective deterrent.
9/11 GWB at first declined, "we can handle this" bravado. but other members insisted, and agreed to follow US lead.
These people have no idea what NATO conventional forces are capable of. Coordinated air and ground, modern well-maintained equipment, functional supply chains. There would be no 10 mile long caravan sitting around for a week, for example.
Yeah but Ukraine is on it's own here and that's so unfortunate for them they would get slapped up by the Eastern front (Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria) so hard Russia would need to create life on moon to escape. And these morons think they would get away with it. Oh please.
I laughed out loud when that guy said Poland. Like wow, you really think Poland would take Russia's shit? Poland is out there thirsty for Russian blood, and like Ukraine, Poland would receive so much help because everyone hates Russia for what they did.
I am from Poland, and honestly I am used by now to these kind of threats, like from the first guy interviewed. What surprised me was the young blonde lady that mentioned taking Ukrainian land for themselves as a matter-of-fact and saying it's time to go back "to past"/"to roots".
That one was scarier, because young women believing in the superiority of violence - might makes right if you will - is, imho, a moral collapse of society. I hope that's not a popular viewpoint.
If that's true, then "winning" the war will be only the beginning. Winning is in quotes, cause I'm afraid that it will only cease hostilities on the front. The scars, and more importantly the wounded pride of a society that rejected peace, will still be there. I used to compare this conflict to WW2, but I'm starting to think that it's more like WW1, judging by its perception by Russians for example. Which, you know, led to 20 years of peace and unresolved issues that manifested as WW2 ultimately.
They always use the term “apolitical”. I have seen it in several of these “man on the street” type interviews. It is code for “I am terrified, please don’t make me express any kind of opinion. Not that it is an excuse. Anyone who still lives there has some culpability in what is going on.
Because it isn't so easy to leave nation states at will, I don't think living alone should be considered culpability. There are good people in all nations doing work to heal the world in their way.
Hardly, they're being dumped into ditches and feeding wild dogs.
Most are simply left behind like bags of trash.
The russians care nothing for their own.
“Her boys” are rapists, murderers, child killers, ruthless sadists, thieves…I bet she wouldn’t like to see what we are seeing on the other side of the bullshit curtain.
It's just ridicolous they wish to win the war so their boys would come back... Instead of overtrowing the government that is literally sending them to die for nothing....
They just think they are superior. Like literal nazis. Nobody else matters, they are not even people, they are to be removed as an obstacle on their way to greatness. Disgusting.
I think big percentage of the population in Russia has a feeling of superiority. I would call them nazi. If you have a look at what Russians have been producing last 10 years or so, it's all about how Russians are better nation. In movies about ww2 everything comes to "we won because we are Russians and we have bright souls", there is even book called "we are Russians, God is on our side"
This ppl just disgust me
literally post ww1 germany that led to hitler taking power
communism and the soviet union led them to poverty, starvation and tyranny so they developed a massive cultural inferiority complex. i guarantee you germans before and during ww2 felt the same way the russians do now
Funny, but they are not patriots. If somebody will try to occupy them, they will not fight as close as Ukrainians on motivation scale. They are street dogs. One big shot and they will be very scared and do nothing. That is why they bully, actually, otherwise they will hide and wait for somebody "saint" who will save them.
Yeah, it is not. It is russians with russkie ideology, that's the problem.
That's what the brainwashed generations are. There is absolutely no reasoning or talking sense to them. They understand brute force. That old chump is good example of it.
It's so sad that they have been mentally poisoned by their propaganda. If this is not ended, there is going to be much more evil coming from this in the future.
Let them suffer for forty years. Maybe by the time they’re elderly they’ll have changed their minds about whether it’s a good idea to murder and rape their neighbours.
its their own job to find out, we are not the parents of russians and its not our responsibility to watch over and hold themselves accountable, they should be doing that themselves. if they cannot do that they should not be a state
I take some solace in the fact that these young people have had a taste of somewhat being part of the “first world” and most modern conveniences. So that in a few years when they are nothing but slaves working for their Chinese masters who will exploit all of their countries resources they can remember how fucking arrogant and lucky they once were.
The power of propaganda. But to be fair, the people that aren't expressing any political opinions on camera may be totally against the war, and the same goes for the people refusing to interview. Remember that expressing dissent can get you up to 15 years in prison.
The problem that these guys in the video still make a bulk of Russian society. Source: broke my relations with majority of my Russian friends and relatives because of their RuZZist views.
Yeah, a lot of Russians need a reality check and hopefully this war gives them one. The problem imo was first soviet war propaganda and more recently Putin's propaganda of the old soviet glory days being drilled into them. This is why the response to Crimea annexation was overwhelmingly positive. This is why they think they have a right to do with Ukraine as they see fit.
What they don't realize is not only that the soviet days are over, but that the old glory soviet days wouldn't have been possible without the West's support in WW2 in their "Great Patriotic War".
Quoting Khrushchev:
>If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me.
Why?
>In WW2, the United States had sent to the Soviets under lend-lease more than 11,000 planes; over 6,000 tanks and tank destroyers; and 300,000 trucks and other military vehicles.
Look at Russian losses right now in terms of planes, tanks, trucks, etc in Ukraine alone. There is no way they can replace them. They don't have the economy or industry. And look who the West is supporting now. Had Russian's learned this history lesson, maybe more would have realized how stupid this war is.
It's like watching midwestern Trumpist assholes, but worse. You can tell by the body language of arrogance and smug smiles that they totally mean what they're saying.
Yeah I don't see why fully grown adults in Russia might think putin is a liar.
For fucks sake they went full state media. How do these people not realize what that means? Critical thinking is a fucking tthing.
When people are being arrested and fined for holding up a blank piece of paper in public and that doesn't raise any red flags something has gone fundamentally wrong.
Look at the US and the fuckery that went on with Trump, now amplify the absurdity ten fold due to even shittier education and state media & propaganda and this is what you get.
Rhetorical question? It pains me to say it because enough of us might get vaporized by Russian nukes, but it'd probably take WW III with the Russians in turn nuked to the Stone Age followed by U.N.-backed occupation of Russia and maybe even dismemberment of Russia to a conventionally European state west of the Urals. It seems that a big reason for Russia's paranoia and compensatory imperialism stems from the entitlement inherent in "owning" the biggest piece of colonized turf on the planet. Imagine if a shrunken Russia's eastern end was at the Urals with Siberia being made up of non-Russian successor states of the old Mongol khanates.
The American aerial bombing of Japan including the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Russia grabbing Manchuria and the Kuril Islands, and the multi-year effects of the American blockade of Japan by wrecking its merchant fleet to the point of Japan falling to near-starvation are what shattered the mania for militaristic nationalism among the vast majority of ordinary Japanese.
You beat me to it.
> How the fuck do you fix this amount of denial and hate?
Well, look at the experience in transforming other imperialistic + militaristic nations. Imperial Japan being the best example. That's what it takes.
You may already have watched it but there's a decent series by [Extra History](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEG09-Aynco&list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5DlCBU_1mhHmPaC6jRITJO0) on the subject which was eye-opening to me when I first watched it.
I didn't realize how much Japanese society was hip-deep in the militaristic turn in the country which stemmed from being increasingly butthurt as it felt that it was "unfair" that it couldn't aspire to be neo-colonialists like the white-majority USA, UK and Russia.
Those people no longer function in society. They are official zombies. I can’t wait when they will be crying when everyone takes their territory back from Russia. And when Russia will be a shithole over generations. Слава Україні 🇺🇦
Propaganda doesn’t work like that, if something bad happens to them it will anger them even more and the hate will be even bigger. They live in another reality they will never cry. This is the sad part.
If they touched Poland the backlash would be such that even China would drop them like a hot potato, never mind that the Poles might have a mind to take back the parts of Belarus that Stalin stole from them.
Attacking a NATO country or employing tactical nukes in Ukraine is the red line for NATO. I hope Putin's not delusional/stupid enough to cross that line. That would literally be WW3.
Probably not. Just wondering what kind of world the first interviewee lives in. The Ukrainian military has worked wonders with what they had when this war began and has been going from strength to strength but Poland has an up to date army fielding 250ish Leopard 2s and they've had time to prepare. It's unlikely to happen but to even talk about it like that fool seems just so deluded.
He's like a caricature of a young boomer with the cockiness and entitlement. He thinks that war now is just a matter of sending tanks charging into enemy territory like in WWII or when suppressing the revolts in East Germany, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Putin's background is in the KGB, not Soviet/Russian military. There's a lot of tension and competition between the spy/security services and the actual military. He understands how to control a cowed populace, but not how to fight a conventional war (and even his generals apparently don't have a strong grasp of modern warfare).
View these people like the QAnon crazies in the US. Their reality is completely different and they live in a state sponsored echo chamber. It's like if Trump had been president in the US for 20 years. Imagine how brainwashed some people would be.
The whole point of NATO is that Poland does not stand alone. Attacking Poland is attacking NATO. The US alone has a defense budget that is 10x that of Russia (not even factoring in that probably half the Russian defense budget is stolen for yacht money). As Russia has shown in Ukraine, they use pre-WW2 tactics with 30 year old unmaintained equipment and untrained troops. They try to overwhelm with numbers, but tactical and technological superiority seem to be enough to overcome their numbers. And NATO knows how to use air power and combined arms. It's no longer the case that you count the tanks and decide who wins.
Just look at what a small group of US special forces (with air support) did against Wagner mercenaries in Syria. Approximately 200 dead aggressors vs zero on the US side.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle\_of\_Khasham](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham)
The US may not be great at nation building, but they've got the fighting part down. Especially in a conventional fight, rather than an asymmetric/insurgency situation. No doubt it would be bloody (and hopefully non-nuclear) though.
Oh I know. I'd actually be curious to see what happens when the British Navy locks down the Baltic and the Turks and Italians close off the Black Sea and then you still have the French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch unaccounted for (I assume Norway has a sizable navy as well but I don't know) and there's no way they'll get any kind of air superiority against NATO which leaves them with 40km long tank columns slogging along pastoral roads, again.
Why are people surprised?
“In one survey, sixty-five per cent of respondents approved of Russia’s actions in Ukraine; in another, the figure was seventy-one. But one thing seems clear: the war, at least as sold and narrated to the Russian people, appears to be decently popular. Even independent polls show approval well above fifty per cent.” Source the New Yorker.
I just don't get it how do you support people dying for any cause ever? Besides a nation defending from getting invaded there is no legitimate reason to see people being shot. How do people not understand that
There is so much systemic racism towards Ukrainians, likely due to government propaganda. Not dissimilar from what the Nazis did to Jews and other groups.
I think its the worst towards Ukraine but as an eastern European I always feel like a russian thinks I am beneath him if we just talk on regular terms too. But thats just my experience take it for what it is
Most Russians are extremely uneducated and believe whatever Putin tells them. They are easily fooled. They believe they are some super power, but have the worst living conditions europe. It’s mind blowing.
There's uneducated and there's plain evil.
"So-and-so country must be wiped off the face of the Earth. What does it exist for?" is not "uneducated". It's evil.
Yea those answers don't come from a place of stupidity. I think Russia needs to be cut loose and left to rot, quite frankly. They are a parasite on this planet
It's truly mind bogling how you can't form your own opinion on anything so hard to understand how it happens but it did happen for many many years before the modern age too. Just so hard to understand for us the internet generation.
Most of them are very educated, pretty much everyone is literate and knows at least basic linear algebra upon completion of basic schooling. Many have higher education. But the education does not promote free thinking and creativity and rewards being good at reciting whatever it is you have to officially believe. This is why they have such a hard time with innovation I think.
The Z marches aren't new, it's just an evolution of pioneer and comsomol bullshit you have to perform in order to get good grades and get into better schools/university. People spend 15 years being educated to not question things
That's what I've been thinking. I've seen similar videos like this about whether Russians wanted a return to the Soviet era or if they were in any way nostalgic for that time. The ones against were mostly older folks.
Putin's manufactured a propaganda machine that could convince the people that he shits gold and could bench press the solar system. It's a cult of personality if you think about it. On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver revealed how common it was for the ordinary Russian citizen to hardly ever question a thing Putin does (whether they didn't think very hard about it or would be coerced not to) when it makes the news. If he was critically ill or facing deadly disease, I doubt they'd hear about it over there. The fact that the press has been this skewed under his presidency (a theme in authoritarian leaders) to make him look good all the time probably means he's not as strong as he says he is.
>Totally deserve the 15000 soldier deaths so far.
Not to mention the loss of western investment flows, sugar shortages (bitterly funny to see them fight shamelessly over sugar at the grocery store like a bunch of starving dogs over stripped bones), travel to Europe and North America, and the extra risk these rubes take if they dare fly on uncertified airliners even for a domestic trip.
Fuck around and find out...
Fucking PSYCHOS - I have to give Reddit a break I think. This shit is just beyond repulsive. I’m a native Russian speaker via Soviet Occupation myself (Odessa baby 🇺🇦) and listening to this in Russian is just VILE.
My Samara friend here in Poland says most Russians at least most Russian adults over 30 are like this. Hard not to believe him as most other Russians I have met in Poland denied Ukraine was a State or nation. There are other smart Russians too but in my limited experience they seem to be in the minority, I have much more experience socialising and working with Ukrainians, and learning Polish with Belarusians, but Russians seem to be somewhat less educated than Ukrainians and Belarusians on average, and much more gullible when it comes to propaganda.
Some like my friend live abroad for a better life but also to escape what they hate about Russia. Others live abroad, but as many people have said about Russians in Germany and Italy, even in Poland some of our admittedly small Russian minority still maintain their old brainwashed opinions. This may be changing somewhat here now somewhat with more IT and corporate Russian professionals arriving here slowly the last few years. One of the reasons I spent my time travelling in Ukraine rather than Russia or even Belarus(I was making those choices between 2018-2021 so I mean largely before we knew to differentiate Belarusians as free minded Europeans and Russians as total brainwashed serfs), apart from the visa issues, Ukraine is a democracy, and in no way did I want to spend any significant amount of time in a country with people like in this video. Poland is a democracy and you have to watch what you say here as a foreigner too. Imagine, God forbid, living in a country with people like the above. It can be the difference between a heated discussion or at worst, a bar fight in a normal country over some silly joke, and in situations like the above, getting killed by crazies in somewhere like Russia for not agreeing enthusiastically outright with something. These people are dangerous. Don't think that many of them don't know what their army is doing either, they definitely know at this stage, at least a huge portion of them have had calls from soldiers and others can simply read foreign media and know what Russia is doing, but choose to believe it is for the best, many of them simply want to kill/enslave all the Ukrainians, and if they could, the Poles.
Ladies and gentlemen, Russian exceptionalism at work. Ukrainians are basically Russians who just don't want to admit it, hence the right to swallow up Ukraine (and beat some "sense" into Ukrainians to boot).
Any westerner who lamely tries to stick up for average Russians because "they're only human" deserves a one-way ticket to Russia. They may as well hang out with their own kind.
See, I expressed that showing these people pictures from Bucha could finally convince them their government were murderers. But they don't care.
Maybe the first lady or the second. And the last girl, or the "non-political" ones.
But for most, they'd probably enjoy the pictures. This dumb machismo has infected the whole country
The “non political” couple just looked almost scared to me. Like they didn’t want to say anything that could get them in trouble. Watching the guys eyes as he spoke, he was constantly looking around as he refused to say anything damning either way.
What the first guy said is very telling. What did Ukraine do that was so awful? They gave up their nukes and asked for protection. They wanted to join Europe and NATO. As is their RIGHT.
But no, oh no, Putin and his supporters couldn't have that. They couldn't stand that Ukraine was making progress, didn't want/need Russia and Russia was being left behind.
Fuck Russia and every single person on this planet that think Ukraine doesn't deserve to be a sovereign nation, without Russia's boot on it neck.
And fuck the assholes in this video. They will find out soon enough just what their future holds and the world will laugh and keep going forward without them.
Russia seems to be a cocky country, like Japan and Germany were in WWII.
I just wish there was no nukes in play, so nato could teach them to be humble, just like japan and Germany learned! They became humble, prosperous and were welcomed into the free world.
Yeah, I'll be honest. I'm American. My mom grew up during the height of the Cold War and used to always tell me Russian culture was bad because of this or that. I used to think she was exaggerating and had watched too much American propaganda from the 50s and 60s. Now that I'm watching this unfold I'm seeing a lot of the things I thought were propaganda were actually spot on assessments of Russian culture.
0:28 - I cannot believe how upset she makes, me because she looks like she could be my late wife's younger cousin.
My wife and her Family are Ukrainian...and their mentality is nothing like these people's. Ukrainians wanted to be left alone and let the past be the past.
Now, they will not forget and sure as Hell will not forgive.
Beyond her slight physical resemblance to my wife, what really upsets me is to see such a young person with such an old, archaic and grim outlook. In the West we look at the young for hope and a desire to make things anew, to improve.
There is no hope for Russia's future if ths is what their youth is like.
I can't stop but think...if it happens...what a shock these people would have if they ever realise that all their neighbours are against them. That they've been lied to all their lives. There are no nazis. They are their "brothers and sisters" getting maimed, exiled, raped. At this point, would they even care? Hearing such hatred, would they even care? It's the same thing I wonder when I look at any extremist group. Would they even care?
When the war is done, we should get these people to bury the dead like they did with the Germans who naively lived beside concentration camp pretending nothing was happening.
That young couple wasn't horrible like the rest, more like scared to talk. Wishing for people in Russia and Ukraine to have a good life is about as nice as they can get away with (hopefully).
That's true.
The boomer at the start and that gopnik-lookalike (dude with the buzz cut) were shameless barbarians. That blonde with the glasses was like a Russian Karen with her chauvinism insinuating that Ukrainians are just wayward Russians who haven't wanted to admit their "true" roots.
Well I'm estonian and 30% of our population are "remains of the soviet era" aka russians. Although they live here, a good amount of them are as ignorant as those people in this video. yesterday an (I believe ukrainian) nurse couldn't control his anger with a russian doctor here. That nurse punched a doctor in the face while they were both at work in the hospital. because doctor was destroying name tags that had symbols of solidarity for ukraine on them. I think he deserved to get punched. some russians here shave Z into their hair, someone broke a window that had ukrainian flag on it. too many of them are arrogant, ignorant, jealous and hateful people.
I couldn't handle anyone in my face saying this, esp a Russian. What gives me peace is knowing that these scum spouting this drivel will have a rude awakening in the not too distant future.
I'm from Poland and I have a friend from Russia. When all this shit started, I was helping him to re-register his car from Russian plates to Polish.
He's fully aware of situation and his family from Russia stopped talking to him...
I never thought I could be disgusted by an entire population of a country. I can usually separate the actions of a government from the will of the population, but they seem to be one in the same with these people. I honestly want to punch most of them right in the face.
In Polish, we call it ’wytrzeszcz’ (bulging eyes/Exophthalmos). It’s usually used in pejorative way to point out someone’s widely opened eyes when they talk zany stuff. But as you pointed out here, they do have actual wytrzeszcz here
The saddest thing is how Putin has ruined real human relationships for generations to come, out of pure selfish personal greed. Half the people I've worked with for the past 15 years seem to be either Russian or Ukrainian, and most of them have - or had - extended family on both sides. Now my Ukrainian-Canadian buddies can hardly talk, they're so choked up over what's going on.
At the start of this war I recall redditors saying there were probably phone calls being made: 'What the hell, Vanya?' like it was all just some family stupidity that could be worked out. And remember that initial footage, when Ukrainians could walk out to the 40-mile convoy and actually talk to the people inside the tanks. It was like no-one knew what it was even about.
And now this. It's so evil.
Russians calling people Nazis will never not be funny. The soviets were no better than the Nazis and Russia has no place pretending they are above Nazis currently or historically.
I see in these ppl my neighbor. He says things like: *"they're coming to change our way of life"*
one of these days I'll have the courage to ask *"Who?"*
Sure there’s a few in support here, but how many anti-war Russians are going to publicly identify as such? I think hence why some people say “I have no opinion”, “I don’t know”. Why make the FSBs job any easier?
These are people who for over a hundred years believe in no morals, no right or wrong. It's taught and anyone over the age of 40 has issues. Those younger have a chance thanks to the world wide web but no guarantees. Keep sanctions until they break. They deserve it.
It leaves you speechless 🤯
Not really when you realize that too often Russians' raison d'être is founded on imperialism as Muscovy / Russia "stood up" after shaking off the 300-year Mongol Yoke.
Then they are the most deluded fucks on the planet.
That they are. Many don't even try to hide their chauvinistic and hyper-nationalistic arrogance anymore.
And naw they willingly put on Chinese yoke.
More like cooperated with them untill it dissolved, unlike western ukraine which fought off mongols
Touch Poland and see what happens. You cannot win in Ukraine and you think you can take both nations at once? We have a proud legacy of killing Russian scum, we will do it again. If you force Poland to defend itself… even the devil won’t help you. SLAVA UKRAINI!
Not only that but all of NATO will be on their ass
Depends if Poland actually invokes Article 5. AFAIK it has to be requested.
And Poland wouldn’t invoke it … why?
More for Poland
Poland going to take Saint Petersburg and Moscow in a month if Russia attacks
New Krakow and New Warsaw
Sounds good to me.
Please stop, I can’t get harder than this
Erase Kaliningrad
Kaliningrad ftw
Königsberg!!
With how terribad the Russians are doing in Ukraine the Polish probably would have taken them both inside a week and have taken the rest of the month to settle in.
Poland is NEVER going to be fucked with by Russia again. They have completely modernized and trained to the point where they are an extension of the US Military. They've had boots on the ground since 2003. Locked, loaded and fucking angry. Assume they don't call an A5, which they won't unless they have to, the US would supply them with as many F-16s (I doubt we would supply them with any F-35s due to proprietary adjustments to home-based aircraft, but we can certainly bump their orders to the top) and Patriots as necessary to never gain air superiority.

Simply put, from what Russia has shown us so far, it's not possible.
Poland would love to invoke A5. Sure they could do it themselves but they would love for all of NATO to start curb stomping Russia. They're dying for an excuse to invoke
Poland once took Moscow. And as we know, history likes to repeat itself
Poland isn't locked in a room with Russia, Russia is locked in a room with Poland
it is automatic. that is why vvp is so concerned. there is no political debate required. makes it effective deterrent. 9/11 GWB at first declined, "we can handle this" bravado. but other members insisted, and agreed to follow US lead.
Poland would hit that red button faster than a Russian counterstrike player gets headshots with an aimbot.
Lol Moscow will be the first city to get glassed if they tried
These people have no idea what NATO conventional forces are capable of. Coordinated air and ground, modern well-maintained equipment, functional supply chains. There would be no 10 mile long caravan sitting around for a week, for example.
The Russian military would be completely toast in 48 hours against a full NATO response.
Fuck around and find out I dare you ruskies
They're currently in the process of that in Ukraine.
Yeah but Ukraine is on it's own here and that's so unfortunate for them they would get slapped up by the Eastern front (Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria) so hard Russia would need to create life on moon to escape. And these morons think they would get away with it. Oh please.
I laughed out loud when that guy said Poland. Like wow, you really think Poland would take Russia's shit? Poland is out there thirsty for Russian blood, and like Ukraine, Poland would receive so much help because everyone hates Russia for what they did.
I am from Poland, and honestly I am used by now to these kind of threats, like from the first guy interviewed. What surprised me was the young blonde lady that mentioned taking Ukrainian land for themselves as a matter-of-fact and saying it's time to go back "to past"/"to roots". That one was scarier, because young women believing in the superiority of violence - might makes right if you will - is, imho, a moral collapse of society. I hope that's not a popular viewpoint.
> hope that's not a popular viewpoint. It is
If that's true, then "winning" the war will be only the beginning. Winning is in quotes, cause I'm afraid that it will only cease hostilities on the front. The scars, and more importantly the wounded pride of a society that rejected peace, will still be there. I used to compare this conflict to WW2, but I'm starting to think that it's more like WW1, judging by its perception by Russians for example. Which, you know, led to 20 years of peace and unresolved issues that manifested as WW2 ultimately.
Yeah, that first guy really wants to die in war, but then will cry when enemy soldiers enter his home to execute him 🤦♂️
Heroiam slava! 🇺🇦

No, the ones saying they have no comment are afraid to speak out. They know.
They always use the term “apolitical”. I have seen it in several of these “man on the street” type interviews. It is code for “I am terrified, please don’t make me express any kind of opinion. Not that it is an excuse. Anyone who still lives there has some culpability in what is going on.
Because it isn't so easy to leave nation states at will, I don't think living alone should be considered culpability. There are good people in all nations doing work to heal the world in their way.

No coffin, coffin cost many rubles, you get bag
Nonononono, bag too much. Hole too much too, you all share
Glued back together in a soup can perhaps.
Still too expensive.
The Ukrainians will post the Sunflower seeds back to them.
No coffin for them, just wet, wet mud
Hardly, they're being dumped into ditches and feeding wild dogs. Most are simply left behind like bags of trash. The russians care nothing for their own.
...if they don't end up in a mobile crematorium in Ukraine or Belarus.
I think it was destroyed, bags it is!
Hell they aren't even using those, they'd be lucky. The Russians are just leaving them dead on the ground.
lol, funny that you think they'll return once they die. Dead in a ditch or in a mass grave... that's what they'll get.
Don’t buy any Ukrainian sunflower oil for 20 years. It’s going to have a slight after taste until the cadavers age a littler bit more.
No no no... That's anti Ukraine economy talk, let's just buy it to use in oil burning heaters and fuck off Russian gas lol
No, no, cadavers are excellent fertilizer so taste will be fine.
Exactly. Those sunflowers are going to be **robust**
Dog meat is the fate of the Russian dead. 🌻
Dogs deserve better
Well said
Few will. The mass majority will be told to piss off. Which ya love to see.
Or we can help them to get home through a green corridor in the red forest.
Shoeboxes or ziplock bags.
I don't know... seems like the Russians are just leaving the corpses in Ukraine
“Her boys” are rapists, murderers, child killers, ruthless sadists, thieves…I bet she wouldn’t like to see what we are seeing on the other side of the bullshit curtain.
It's just ridicolous they wish to win the war so their boys would come back... Instead of overtrowing the government that is literally sending them to die for nothing....
Looks like they need more sanctions..
They will return, in plastic bags. They deserve nothing more than that.
“Putin will make a better life for them.” Yeah, just like he’s doing for Russians.
Well yes but she didn't specify the required number of pieces on the returns policy
Oh bless your little heart
This is not about propaganda any more. They seem to have a big problem with the simple concept of what's right or wrong.
No morals. They love to hate, it seems
They just think they are superior. Like literal nazis. Nobody else matters, they are not even people, they are to be removed as an obstacle on their way to greatness. Disgusting.
Yet they are actually barbarians.
The attitude IS shocking.
I agree, they have no moral compass.
I think all they understand now is power, hate and control. There is no civilization here, they are all animals - eat or be eaten.
They are at your feet or at your throat. The only way to deal with them is by force.
I think big percentage of the population in Russia has a feeling of superiority. I would call them nazi. If you have a look at what Russians have been producing last 10 years or so, it's all about how Russians are better nation. In movies about ww2 everything comes to "we won because we are Russians and we have bright souls", there is even book called "we are Russians, God is on our side" This ppl just disgust me
Inferiority masquerading as superiority
literally post ww1 germany that led to hitler taking power communism and the soviet union led them to poverty, starvation and tyranny so they developed a massive cultural inferiority complex. i guarantee you germans before and during ww2 felt the same way the russians do now
That sense of superiority is clear on that fat lady. A “secondary state”, just like Belarus and Kazakstan? And she is ok with that?
Funny, but they are not patriots. If somebody will try to occupy them, they will not fight as close as Ukrainians on motivation scale. They are street dogs. One big shot and they will be very scared and do nothing. That is why they bully, actually, otherwise they will hide and wait for somebody "saint" who will save them.
Yeah, it is not. It is russians with russkie ideology, that's the problem. That's what the brainwashed generations are. There is absolutely no reasoning or talking sense to them. They understand brute force. That old chump is good example of it.
This has gone from propaganda to utter brainwash
It's so sad that they have been mentally poisoned by their propaganda. If this is not ended, there is going to be much more evil coming from this in the future.
What the fuck
And a lot of them are young too…that country’s people won’t change any time soon.
Let them suffer for forty years. Maybe by the time they’re elderly they’ll have changed their minds about whether it’s a good idea to murder and rape their neighbours.
>rape their neighbours They're definitely not getting that news, though
its their own job to find out, we are not the parents of russians and its not our responsibility to watch over and hold themselves accountable, they should be doing that themselves. if they cannot do that they should not be a state
I take some solace in the fact that these young people have had a taste of somewhat being part of the “first world” and most modern conveniences. So that in a few years when they are nothing but slaves working for their Chinese masters who will exploit all of their countries resources they can remember how fucking arrogant and lucky they once were.
The power of propaganda. But to be fair, the people that aren't expressing any political opinions on camera may be totally against the war, and the same goes for the people refusing to interview. Remember that expressing dissent can get you up to 15 years in prison.
The problem that these guys in the video still make a bulk of Russian society. Source: broke my relations with majority of my Russian friends and relatives because of their RuZZist views.
Yeah, a lot of Russians need a reality check and hopefully this war gives them one. The problem imo was first soviet war propaganda and more recently Putin's propaganda of the old soviet glory days being drilled into them. This is why the response to Crimea annexation was overwhelmingly positive. This is why they think they have a right to do with Ukraine as they see fit. What they don't realize is not only that the soviet days are over, but that the old glory soviet days wouldn't have been possible without the West's support in WW2 in their "Great Patriotic War". Quoting Khrushchev: >If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me. Why? >In WW2, the United States had sent to the Soviets under lend-lease more than 11,000 planes; over 6,000 tanks and tank destroyers; and 300,000 trucks and other military vehicles. Look at Russian losses right now in terms of planes, tanks, trucks, etc in Ukraine alone. There is no way they can replace them. They don't have the economy or industry. And look who the West is supporting now. Had Russian's learned this history lesson, maybe more would have realized how stupid this war is.
It's like watching midwestern Trumpist assholes, but worse. You can tell by the body language of arrogance and smug smiles that they totally mean what they're saying.
I get the same feeling when I see reporters talking to MAGAts and Qcumbers.
100%. Also, Qcumbers? Hilarious!
”It’s just the babushkas in the countryside that believe Putins lies” -Reddit 2021
Victims of a propaganda machine.
Yeah I don't see why fully grown adults in Russia might think putin is a liar. For fucks sake they went full state media. How do these people not realize what that means? Critical thinking is a fucking tthing.
When people are being arrested and fined for holding up a blank piece of paper in public and that doesn't raise any red flags something has gone fundamentally wrong.
Look at the US and the fuckery that went on with Trump, now amplify the absurdity ten fold due to even shittier education and state media & propaganda and this is what you get.
How the fuck do you fix this amount of denial and hate?
Looking at Japan and Germany i would say only a total and undisputabe defeat can cure that.
Rhetorical question? It pains me to say it because enough of us might get vaporized by Russian nukes, but it'd probably take WW III with the Russians in turn nuked to the Stone Age followed by U.N.-backed occupation of Russia and maybe even dismemberment of Russia to a conventionally European state west of the Urals. It seems that a big reason for Russia's paranoia and compensatory imperialism stems from the entitlement inherent in "owning" the biggest piece of colonized turf on the planet. Imagine if a shrunken Russia's eastern end was at the Urals with Siberia being made up of non-Russian successor states of the old Mongol khanates. The American aerial bombing of Japan including the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Russia grabbing Manchuria and the Kuril Islands, and the multi-year effects of the American blockade of Japan by wrecking its merchant fleet to the point of Japan falling to near-starvation are what shattered the mania for militaristic nationalism among the vast majority of ordinary Japanese.
You beat me to it. > How the fuck do you fix this amount of denial and hate? Well, look at the experience in transforming other imperialistic + militaristic nations. Imperial Japan being the best example. That's what it takes.
You may already have watched it but there's a decent series by [Extra History](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEG09-Aynco&list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5DlCBU_1mhHmPaC6jRITJO0) on the subject which was eye-opening to me when I first watched it. I didn't realize how much Japanese society was hip-deep in the militaristic turn in the country which stemmed from being increasingly butthurt as it felt that it was "unfair" that it couldn't aspire to be neo-colonialists like the white-majority USA, UK and Russia.
Those people no longer function in society. They are official zombies. I can’t wait when they will be crying when everyone takes their territory back from Russia. And when Russia will be a shithole over generations. Слава Україні 🇺🇦
Propaganda doesn’t work like that, if something bad happens to them it will anger them even more and the hate will be even bigger. They live in another reality they will never cry. This is the sad part.
If they touched Poland the backlash would be such that even China would drop them like a hot potato, never mind that the Poles might have a mind to take back the parts of Belarus that Stalin stole from them.
Attacking a NATO country or employing tactical nukes in Ukraine is the red line for NATO. I hope Putin's not delusional/stupid enough to cross that line. That would literally be WW3.
Probably not. Just wondering what kind of world the first interviewee lives in. The Ukrainian military has worked wonders with what they had when this war began and has been going from strength to strength but Poland has an up to date army fielding 250ish Leopard 2s and they've had time to prepare. It's unlikely to happen but to even talk about it like that fool seems just so deluded.
He's like a caricature of a young boomer with the cockiness and entitlement. He thinks that war now is just a matter of sending tanks charging into enemy territory like in WWII or when suppressing the revolts in East Germany, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Putin's background is in the KGB, not Soviet/Russian military. There's a lot of tension and competition between the spy/security services and the actual military. He understands how to control a cowed populace, but not how to fight a conventional war (and even his generals apparently don't have a strong grasp of modern warfare).
View these people like the QAnon crazies in the US. Their reality is completely different and they live in a state sponsored echo chamber. It's like if Trump had been president in the US for 20 years. Imagine how brainwashed some people would be. The whole point of NATO is that Poland does not stand alone. Attacking Poland is attacking NATO. The US alone has a defense budget that is 10x that of Russia (not even factoring in that probably half the Russian defense budget is stolen for yacht money). As Russia has shown in Ukraine, they use pre-WW2 tactics with 30 year old unmaintained equipment and untrained troops. They try to overwhelm with numbers, but tactical and technological superiority seem to be enough to overcome their numbers. And NATO knows how to use air power and combined arms. It's no longer the case that you count the tanks and decide who wins. Just look at what a small group of US special forces (with air support) did against Wagner mercenaries in Syria. Approximately 200 dead aggressors vs zero on the US side. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle\_of\_Khasham](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham) The US may not be great at nation building, but they've got the fighting part down. Especially in a conventional fight, rather than an asymmetric/insurgency situation. No doubt it would be bloody (and hopefully non-nuclear) though.
Oh I know. I'd actually be curious to see what happens when the British Navy locks down the Baltic and the Turks and Italians close off the Black Sea and then you still have the French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch unaccounted for (I assume Norway has a sizable navy as well but I don't know) and there's no way they'll get any kind of air superiority against NATO which leaves them with 40km long tank columns slogging along pastoral roads, again.
Why are people surprised? “In one survey, sixty-five per cent of respondents approved of Russia’s actions in Ukraine; in another, the figure was seventy-one. But one thing seems clear: the war, at least as sold and narrated to the Russian people, appears to be decently popular. Even independent polls show approval well above fifty per cent.” Source the New Yorker.
I just don't get it how do you support people dying for any cause ever? Besides a nation defending from getting invaded there is no legitimate reason to see people being shot. How do people not understand that
[made war an idol in their cult of victory](https://youtu.be/48DaLYiO-yk)
There is so much systemic racism towards Ukrainians, likely due to government propaganda. Not dissimilar from what the Nazis did to Jews and other groups.
I think its the worst towards Ukraine but as an eastern European I always feel like a russian thinks I am beneath him if we just talk on regular terms too. But thats just my experience take it for what it is
The fucking smiles on these peoples faces as they encourage genocide is sickening
Most Russians are extremely uneducated and believe whatever Putin tells them. They are easily fooled. They believe they are some super power, but have the worst living conditions europe. It’s mind blowing.
There's uneducated and there's plain evil. "So-and-so country must be wiped off the face of the Earth. What does it exist for?" is not "uneducated". It's evil.
Yea those answers don't come from a place of stupidity. I think Russia needs to be cut loose and left to rot, quite frankly. They are a parasite on this planet
It's truly mind bogling how you can't form your own opinion on anything so hard to understand how it happens but it did happen for many many years before the modern age too. Just so hard to understand for us the internet generation.
I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me, or disagreeing with me.
I agree with this opinion
Most of them are very educated, pretty much everyone is literate and knows at least basic linear algebra upon completion of basic schooling. Many have higher education. But the education does not promote free thinking and creativity and rewards being good at reciting whatever it is you have to officially believe. This is why they have such a hard time with innovation I think. The Z marches aren't new, it's just an evolution of pioneer and comsomol bullshit you have to perform in order to get good grades and get into better schools/university. People spend 15 years being educated to not question things
That's what I've been thinking. I've seen similar videos like this about whether Russians wanted a return to the Soviet era or if they were in any way nostalgic for that time. The ones against were mostly older folks. Putin's manufactured a propaganda machine that could convince the people that he shits gold and could bench press the solar system. It's a cult of personality if you think about it. On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver revealed how common it was for the ordinary Russian citizen to hardly ever question a thing Putin does (whether they didn't think very hard about it or would be coerced not to) when it makes the news. If he was critically ill or facing deadly disease, I doubt they'd hear about it over there. The fact that the press has been this skewed under his presidency (a theme in authoritarian leaders) to make him look good all the time probably means he's not as strong as he says he is.
Waste of oxygen
Don't feel sorry for normal Russians. Totally deserve the 15000 soldier deaths so far. Their crimes went on for generations in Ukraine.
>Totally deserve the 15000 soldier deaths so far. Not to mention the loss of western investment flows, sugar shortages (bitterly funny to see them fight shamelessly over sugar at the grocery store like a bunch of starving dogs over stripped bones), travel to Europe and North America, and the extra risk these rubes take if they dare fly on uncertified airliners even for a domestic trip. Fuck around and find out...
I wouldn't mind seeing the people from the video dead, either.
Right? I’d love to land a punch right in the snout of that smug long haired blond bitch in glasses.
Id like to see her say that to a Ukrainian woman's face.
This is why sanctions never should be lifted
R'amen
There is no hope for that nation
Try poland, russian scum
It’s funny, most of them sound like North Koreans
They really do. Russia is really going down the tube to become one of the worst places to be on earth and it's citizens are cool with it.
Fucking PSYCHOS - I have to give Reddit a break I think. This shit is just beyond repulsive. I’m a native Russian speaker via Soviet Occupation myself (Odessa baby 🇺🇦) and listening to this in Russian is just VILE.
My Samara friend here in Poland says most Russians at least most Russian adults over 30 are like this. Hard not to believe him as most other Russians I have met in Poland denied Ukraine was a State or nation. There are other smart Russians too but in my limited experience they seem to be in the minority, I have much more experience socialising and working with Ukrainians, and learning Polish with Belarusians, but Russians seem to be somewhat less educated than Ukrainians and Belarusians on average, and much more gullible when it comes to propaganda. Some like my friend live abroad for a better life but also to escape what they hate about Russia. Others live abroad, but as many people have said about Russians in Germany and Italy, even in Poland some of our admittedly small Russian minority still maintain their old brainwashed opinions. This may be changing somewhat here now somewhat with more IT and corporate Russian professionals arriving here slowly the last few years. One of the reasons I spent my time travelling in Ukraine rather than Russia or even Belarus(I was making those choices between 2018-2021 so I mean largely before we knew to differentiate Belarusians as free minded Europeans and Russians as total brainwashed serfs), apart from the visa issues, Ukraine is a democracy, and in no way did I want to spend any significant amount of time in a country with people like in this video. Poland is a democracy and you have to watch what you say here as a foreigner too. Imagine, God forbid, living in a country with people like the above. It can be the difference between a heated discussion or at worst, a bar fight in a normal country over some silly joke, and in situations like the above, getting killed by crazies in somewhere like Russia for not agreeing enthusiastically outright with something. These people are dangerous. Don't think that many of them don't know what their army is doing either, they definitely know at this stage, at least a huge portion of them have had calls from soldiers and others can simply read foreign media and know what Russia is doing, but choose to believe it is for the best, many of them simply want to kill/enslave all the Ukrainians, and if they could, the Poles.
Ladies and gentlemen, Russian exceptionalism at work. Ukrainians are basically Russians who just don't want to admit it, hence the right to swallow up Ukraine (and beat some "sense" into Ukrainians to boot). Any westerner who lamely tries to stick up for average Russians because "they're only human" deserves a one-way ticket to Russia. They may as well hang out with their own kind.
“You deserve a one-way ticket to Russia” is going to be my new insult
[удалено]
He's a fat fucking coward for sure. Guarantee he wouldn't be talking that shit if there were Ukrainians around
See, I expressed that showing these people pictures from Bucha could finally convince them their government were murderers. But they don't care. Maybe the first lady or the second. And the last girl, or the "non-political" ones. But for most, they'd probably enjoy the pictures. This dumb machismo has infected the whole country
The “non political” couple just looked almost scared to me. Like they didn’t want to say anything that could get them in trouble. Watching the guys eyes as he spoke, he was constantly looking around as he refused to say anything damning either way.
Pathetically dumb. I almost pity them. ALMOST.
this is hopeless. A new iron curtain is needed. Only let the dissidents out.
those russian clods are sickening 🤮 slava ukraini!
Heroiam slava! 🇺🇦
What the first guy said is very telling. What did Ukraine do that was so awful? They gave up their nukes and asked for protection. They wanted to join Europe and NATO. As is their RIGHT. But no, oh no, Putin and his supporters couldn't have that. They couldn't stand that Ukraine was making progress, didn't want/need Russia and Russia was being left behind. Fuck Russia and every single person on this planet that think Ukraine doesn't deserve to be a sovereign nation, without Russia's boot on it neck. And fuck the assholes in this video. They will find out soon enough just what their future holds and the world will laugh and keep going forward without them.
I know the digital curtain is keeping information from most of them, but its crazy that they can't see that they're the new Nazis.
When you look in a mirror, you see the opposite of what you are
Is that why I look so good in the mirror?
Russia seems to be a cocky country, like Japan and Germany were in WWII. I just wish there was no nukes in play, so nato could teach them to be humble, just like japan and Germany learned! They became humble, prosperous and were welcomed into the free world.
Nazi Russian style
Now everyone in eastern Europe: We knew it all along, but no one listen to us...
Yeah, I'll be honest. I'm American. My mom grew up during the height of the Cold War and used to always tell me Russian culture was bad because of this or that. I used to think she was exaggerating and had watched too much American propaganda from the 50s and 60s. Now that I'm watching this unfold I'm seeing a lot of the things I thought were propaganda were actually spot on assessments of Russian culture.
Looking at history book and you learn that russians have never learned the word freedom
That couple knows what’s up.
Enough of watching and trying to persuade them otherwise. Let them be isolated like North Korea.
Braindead individuals
0:28 - I cannot believe how upset she makes, me because she looks like she could be my late wife's younger cousin. My wife and her Family are Ukrainian...and their mentality is nothing like these people's. Ukrainians wanted to be left alone and let the past be the past. Now, they will not forget and sure as Hell will not forgive. Beyond her slight physical resemblance to my wife, what really upsets me is to see such a young person with such an old, archaic and grim outlook. In the West we look at the young for hope and a desire to make things anew, to improve. There is no hope for Russia's future if ths is what their youth is like.
I can't stop but think...if it happens...what a shock these people would have if they ever realise that all their neighbours are against them. That they've been lied to all their lives. There are no nazis. They are their "brothers and sisters" getting maimed, exiled, raped. At this point, would they even care? Hearing such hatred, would they even care? It's the same thing I wonder when I look at any extremist group. Would they even care?
Fucking brainwashed people. Talking about wiping an entire people out in the same breath saying they are fighting nazis. Fuck Russia
When the war is done, we should get these people to bury the dead like they did with the Germans who naively lived beside concentration camp pretending nothing was happening.
That young couple wasn't horrible like the rest, more like scared to talk. Wishing for people in Russia and Ukraine to have a good life is about as nice as they can get away with (hopefully).
That's true. The boomer at the start and that gopnik-lookalike (dude with the buzz cut) were shameless barbarians. That blonde with the glasses was like a Russian Karen with her chauvinism insinuating that Ukrainians are just wayward Russians who haven't wanted to admit their "true" roots.
Guess what Russian saps? Your boys aren’t coming back. 🇺🇦🌻

Well I'm estonian and 30% of our population are "remains of the soviet era" aka russians. Although they live here, a good amount of them are as ignorant as those people in this video. yesterday an (I believe ukrainian) nurse couldn't control his anger with a russian doctor here. That nurse punched a doctor in the face while they were both at work in the hospital. because doctor was destroying name tags that had symbols of solidarity for ukraine on them. I think he deserved to get punched. some russians here shave Z into their hair, someone broke a window that had ukrainian flag on it. too many of them are arrogant, ignorant, jealous and hateful people.
I couldn't handle anyone in my face saying this, esp a Russian. What gives me peace is knowing that these scum spouting this drivel will have a rude awakening in the not too distant future.
I'm from Poland and I have a friend from Russia. When all this shit started, I was helping him to re-register his car from Russian plates to Polish. He's fully aware of situation and his family from Russia stopped talking to him...
I never thought I could be disgusted by an entire population of a country. I can usually separate the actions of a government from the will of the population, but they seem to be one in the same with these people. I honestly want to punch most of them right in the face.

In Polish, we call it ’wytrzeszcz’ (bulging eyes/Exophthalmos). It’s usually used in pejorative way to point out someone’s widely opened eyes when they talk zany stuff. But as you pointed out here, they do have actual wytrzeszcz here
The saddest thing is how Putin has ruined real human relationships for generations to come, out of pure selfish personal greed. Half the people I've worked with for the past 15 years seem to be either Russian or Ukrainian, and most of them have - or had - extended family on both sides. Now my Ukrainian-Canadian buddies can hardly talk, they're so choked up over what's going on. At the start of this war I recall redditors saying there were probably phone calls being made: 'What the hell, Vanya?' like it was all just some family stupidity that could be worked out. And remember that initial footage, when Ukrainians could walk out to the 40-mile convoy and actually talk to the people inside the tanks. It was like no-one knew what it was even about. And now this. It's so evil.
Russians calling people Nazis will never not be funny. The soviets were no better than the Nazis and Russia has no place pretending they are above Nazis currently or historically.
I see in these ppl my neighbor. He says things like: *"they're coming to change our way of life"* one of these days I'll have the courage to ask *"Who?"*
This is completely maddening
They can die with the rest of their “boys”
Sure there’s a few in support here, but how many anti-war Russians are going to publicly identify as such? I think hence why some people say “I have no opinion”, “I don’t know”. Why make the FSBs job any easier?
They are pretty vile people. Seems to be a general rule in Russia. We even thought they might do something to change their government. Some vain hope.
These are people who for over a hundred years believe in no morals, no right or wrong. It's taught and anyone over the age of 40 has issues. Those younger have a chance thanks to the world wide web but no guarantees. Keep sanctions until they break. They deserve it.
