russians are “against war”:

Andrey 35 years old, Volgograd
“The defeat of Russia will mean national humiliation, which cannot be allowed.”

Alexey 24 years old, Yakutsk
“I do not support the war, but I do not want Russia to lose.”

Sergey, 38 years old

“I do not support war. But unfortunately, at the moment my Motherland faces the question of existence. I do not want the collapse, the destruction of my country.“
Alexei, 24 years, Yakutsk

“I do not support the war, but I do not want russia to lose either. In this case, it will be worse for everyone, and the world to which we are accustomed will now certainly collapse…War is wrong, but losing is unacceptable.”
Anonymous, 36 years

I don’t support war in the Z-understanding. I believe that the introduction of troops into 🇺🇦 is a mistake, and the withdrawal is a crime. I'm not going to pay reparations for the mistakes of others for the next 20 years. No one talks to the losing side.
Artem, 40 years, Berlin

“First of all, I support not the war, but the russian people and the interests of russia. At first I was strongly opposed, but with the development of events I changed my point of view.”
Alexei, 31 years, Moscow

“So what are the options, guys? The war has already begun, there is no turning back.
There is no way back. Let them fight as long as there is mutual interest, and after the change of power (and this will certainly happen), we'll see what happens.”
Sergey, 27 y., Perm

I support the actions of my president and my country... russia is not a "terrorist state", we are only defending our interests and sovereignty. Therefore, I, like the majority of 🇷🇺citizens, fully support the war, and if I’ll be asked to fight, I’ll do that.”
Murad, 28 y, Moscow

“Despite the fact that our government is corrupt and inefficient, Ukraine is a danger to our southern borders. If there is no Black Sea Fleet in the Crimea, we will lose influence on the Black Sea and the Caucasus.”
Dmitriy, 24 y, Moscow

“I do not support the idea of ​​starting a war, but I do not support the idea of ​​ending it now either. My feeling is that no one in the world is trying to offer russians any healthy alternative to what Putin is offering.”
Anonymous, 30 y, Astana

“Even now I think that 🇷🇺 got involved in this war in vain, very vainly. But the way out offered by those [politicians] whom I [formerly] hoped for is shameful, painful, humiliating and deceitful.”

🇷🇺 think that the war is the dumb reason to hate them.
There are several more:
1) Ukrainian language was banned 134 times in 🇷🇺empire.
2) 3 famines
3) USSR could prevent WWII. Instead of that they joined Nazi Germany.
4) 🇷🇺 destroyed Zaporizhia Sich Image
5) Ethnic cleansings in several countries
6) Where are Circassians?
7) Chernobyl
8) Katyn (there were several events like this)
9) What became of all the nationalities that live in 🇷🇺 today?
10) Here’s the nice list of massacres in 🇷🇺

Some of you are probably wondering what’s going on there?
Why Ukraine is banning 🇷🇺Orthodox Church?
On the 1st picture you can see a 🇷🇺priest from Chernivrsi. On the 2nd picture - an underage boy whom he molested. ImageImage
In one of 🇷🇺churches in Western Ukraine they’ve found a lot of propaganda literature authored by russians, books with xenophobic content. The brochures deny Ukraine's right to independence, stressing that russia, Ukraine and Belarus cannot be divided. Image
SBU also discovered texts that glorify the "russian land" and "the awakening of Mother russia" Image

I guess you’ve all heard about letters with bombs handed out to 🇺🇦ambassadors (not only in Spain and not only to our ambassadors).
And some people still doubt that #RussiaIsATerroristState

washingtonpost.com/world/2022/11/…
Our embassies have also received “animal eyes”. What century is it? 13th?
Very #russianstyle

And @Pontifex says that cruelty is not a part of russian tradition…

So, his father was a Nazi and THAT’S THE REASON HE SUPPORTS 🇷🇺NOW?
LOL, LMAO😂😂
Also, daily reminder that every 4th Ukrainian died in WWII (one of the reasons for which were Stalin’s and russia’s imperialistic ambitions).
The whole ukrainian territory was occupied (and only 7% of 🇷🇺).
Let me sum this up: we’ve defeated Nazis once and we will do it again.
(of course, I don’t mean that we did it on our own, I’m not russian. I’m grateful to everyone who was the part of this victory)
