So yes, blame those who don't speak if you wish to - they are both the problem and the solution to the problem but they prefer to be Zombies!

Wonder if they have to wait till the pensioners are all gone? But then you see the news showing kids if grades 2-5 wearing military uniforms in school.
Sadly support for Putin is massive...even this channel shows it... in some main cities it`s probably less and in rural russia it could be more.. also age groups differ and so on. Just before war it was 65%... and it rose quickly to 85% when invasion began. Because most of russians live still in imperial mindset... mindset of glory.. and sadly this "glory" is dominating violently... occupying areas which in some point where under Russian Empire or Soviet Union. 15% of anti-Putin russians in Russia is roughly 22 million people, it is a lot, but percentage is more important. Not enough for change. Support for Putin will go down if war isn`t succesful enough or economy will fail drastically. Imperial mindset wont go anywhere soon, but shame and living standard would do its work on stability of current regime.
Great short term assessment. I agree, and I think economic collapse is already starting. As for long term, I don't have very much faith in Russia, unfortunately.

The real voting numbers means nothing if there is no serious opposition to vote for. That is the fundamental law of democracy to have at least two options that are balanced in power.
Sadly real Putin approval rating (or at least foreign politics approval) is above 50% I met way way more russians in the internet who was against Ukraine than pro-Ukraine
Well, its Russia who made Putin not Putin who made Russia so above 50% is probabily true. Not 87% for sure. But i agree, russian people are the main responsable for this situation
Let's not confuse patriotic rating with government rating. I remind that in early years of WW2, Hitler's ratings were high. Why? Because Germany was winning, and Germans love Germany. War was good for Germany and for them, so they liked the war. When they suffered a lot by losing miserably, they did not want to hear about war any more, nether about Hitler. If there were free elections in Russia, most probably Putin would not be in power in 2022 (because people like government changes, especially if they are not satisfied with their lives , see in Ukraine). Therefore we can see that democracy saves lives. Literally.
It's just like these videos. Even if you don't agree, you don't want to complicate your life by putting yourself in some perceived trouble. In what context did you meet these Russians? A chat? In comments? I think you need to be more critical of random people online in these complicated times.
It is possible to reflect things in Russia. Would be interesting to know what helps him to have and express an independent point of view. But not only Russia is concerned by brainwashing. We have this in Germany, too. Here some people could and should know better but tbey prefer to believe stupid things and like the Russian regime.
