This Russian woman is a good illustration of how an average Russian person sees the war and Ukraine. It is a mix of propaganda, ignorance and stereotypes, with little independent thinking. (streamable.com)

"We haven't attacked Ukraine either. We're defending our territory", "Ukraine was ours then [in USSR], too!", "It [Ukraine] was always part of Russia", - this Russian woman is a good illustration of how an average Russian person sees the war and Ukraine. It is a mix of propaganda, ignorance and stereotypes, with little independent thinking.

Meh, I keep my opinion. How many people supported nazis during ww2? Hmmm about a shit metric ton % of the whole population in Germany. Lots of intellectuals there, and blue collars, all marching together to a Nazi Future.

You can obviously live your whole life happily (I hope so) and never to experience anything like that, but I am pretty sure my nice neighbor would be the first to do a happy dance if our respective countries went to war with each other.

There is no "inherently morally superior" population, most people are as dumb as rocks!
