For those who think Russians are about to rise up in open revolt, here's a translated post and comments from a popular Telegram channel covering the war. You'll see that there are plenty in Russia who are desperate to see ordinary Ukrainians slaughtered. 1/5
The main post (I won't link to it, because screw these guys): "The Russian army is using their guns. Right now they're only shooting into the air." Video shows a small crowd gathered in Ukrainian town. Shots fired. Cameraperson ducks down behind a car. 2/5
Here are the comments, in order, and with no editing: "Should have done it on the first day."
"That's the way. They don't understand anything else."
"A long time coming."
"😂😂😂😂"
"That shut them up. If only they broke up demonstrations in Moscow and Petersburg like that." 3/5

"That's the only way to do it with scum."
"[Antisemitic image of Ukrainians]"
"If they don't get it the nice way, we'll give it to them the bad way."
"The big boys really shat themselves."
"Shame they didn't shoot into the crowd, the Nazis." 4/5

It goes on. Hundreds of comments, thousands of views. Russians who want to are seeking out these pockets of Telegram to share and encourage these deplorable viewpoints. Worrying times. 5/5
