Bruno Kahl, President of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND), is convinced that the population of Russia largely supports their leader Vladimir Putin and his war against Ukraine.
When a westerner sees something confirming the statement “Russian supports Putin”, in the absolute majority of cases he just doesn’t like the actual meaning of that something.
See, other that “supporting Putin” and “following the narrative of nations which had 20 years of development conditioned by guaranteed cheap Russian resource deals, backed by corruption and closing their eyes on the legality of the regime”, of course you’ll find very few very stupid Russians believing the latter.

It doesn’t mean they are part of the former.
This is a victim-hood narrative.
Russians are responsible for the actions of their government, no one else. 2000 and 2004 elections were considered more or less fair.
Not worth an answer.
Go fuck yourself.
Treating russians like adults is not worth an answer. In a sense, you prove my point much better than I could have.
There is a nice irony to your reply! Cheers!
