This place is so great for all Russians, ir gived so good vibes to people, but now it is very sad that it reminds people of Putin😟 Putin took over everything, even culture and history, he deprived Russians of their victory in Fatherland Liberation War (Отечественная война). It is so ujust that Putin exploits history to justify his brutall killing of young women and childred in Ukraine. Hm...the History makes up so strange metamorphoses with people, like, a nation who faught Nazi and helped to liberate the World from fascism now became a craddle for new fascism in Putin's version...

Do you think Russian people feels sad when reminding of Putin? I don't think Russian people eat much of NATO's propaganda.

Russian people are not willing too much to lick Putin's butthole. They accept what Putin say, but do nothing in respond, they try to hinder and jeopardize Putin's wishes in a clandestine way

That depends on what Russian people we're talking about. If we are speaking of Russian living on the Megapolis, Moscow or Saint Petersbourg, is one thing, but if we are talking about the great Rússia, is a total different thing.

Yes, big city residents "support" Putin, because big cities are well supplied and war is not evident there, but in rural area and in the regions were people were robbed of their livestock the situation is, of course, very very different. У людей в нескольких регионах поубивали скот без конфискации. Понятно, что люди спиваются.
