- While there was hope that Putin's invasion of Ukraine would spark a backlash against the Kremlin, the Russian people have seemingly given broad support for Russia's war. Andrei Kolesnikov and Denis Volkov examine Russian public opinion on the war in Ukraine.

Send war supporters to the frontline of the war, not anti-war young people
Which part of the frontline you are talking about??
Send Putin, riding bareback on his horse/pony, to lead his glorious world beating army, against those so-called evil Nazi-Ukrainians. Putin... PUT YOUR OWN ACTIONS IN PLACE OF YOUR COWARDLY, BEHIND THE LINES, MOUTH.
@@leninha5549 It's a moving line with gaps in it. If they are smart enough to find the front line they are smart enough to realize they have been duped by Putin.
Exactly, you're very right.
Agreed!
Keep sending Ukrainians even more materiel they need to reclaim 1991 - 2013 borders. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇨🇦!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I fully agree with you. We need to reclaim Canadian borders
How about no?
Do you know what Hitler mentioned as reason to start the war with Poland?
"We have to protect the German speaking population in Poland"
Does it sound familiar?
@@vvaldez0221 Yep, it definitely reminds me of the Banderists and Right Sector leaders who allied with Adolf Hitler, as well as the antidemocratic authoritarian coup regime in post 2014 Kiev.
Do you live in Argentina, btw, Victor?
How many are too affraid to admit that they don't support?
Exactly. I suspect the support is probably no higher than 40% and that's with a population that is approaching this war from a false premise. I suspect if the real facts of what has transpired were laid out the support would be no higher than 15%.
like all of them as sheep. the importance of public opinion and protest on display. Democracies might be 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner but it's better than one wolf and the rest sheep. f russia
I don't think they can say it or act otherwise they LL go to jail .
Presenters are fkn imbiciles. They should go to North Korea in wartime and ask what you guys think. Scientists post research, con artists post only results.
Russian Law makers said that Putin must go. Then Putin had the law makers arrested and jailed .😑
It's so easy for you Russians to blame everyone else but yourselves, take responsibility for your own actions - you went in and invaded and committed atrocities against civilians and children in someone else's Country the blame isn't on the West or Europe or Ukraine > put the blame where it belongs and once you look into the mirror then you can point your finger straight out and that's who's to blame, you all could have had a good life without any hiccups if you just didn't poke your nose into others Countries with your agression and attacks, don't you think that if you put that energy into doing something better like the betterment of your own Country then your World and the rest of the World could have still been going along through life having a good life with your families, children, friends, loved ones, just like the rest of the World, - take responsibility for your own actions and your life will get better and the World can start to heal stay in your own Country and take care of your own land not anyone else's -> get out of Ukraine and tend to your own.
Je suis parfaitement d'accord avec vous.
Amen
thats for sure. Russia could be a great country if they stayed there and prospered.
Not entirely. The US and its vassals have done evil things to Russia also, like supporting the worst kinds of Islamic terrorists against Russia in the Caucuses region and in Syria. We drew first blood in this conflict.
They "thought" Ukraine is going to attack Russia XDXDXD How dumb can u think.. they went to war, and sent Russia back 10 years.
The comment that "the socio-economic problems will peak this fall and in 2023" isnt correct. In reality, conditions in Russia are going to deteriorate for years to come.
Absolutely !
agree. Within two years, the economic problems will become much more severe.
Couldn't agree more the years ahead could put Russia into an economic disaster situation but if Russia withdraws its invading force now there is still a chance the Russian economy will rebound in a few years
There may be no end in sight to the long term deterioration.
I’m in favour of maintaining sanctions for a couple of centuries. Let Russia create it’s own version of civilization if it doesn’t want to be part of the existing one.
When are the people of Russia going to rise up and say enough is enough?
They will not as you could hear in the video.. They are suporting this idiot, filthy war.. Only because they are not interested to know the real plans behind this ugly man !!! I am afraid this population is so ignorant and low educated, that putin can still do what he wants..!!
When hell freezes. This is who they are.
@@kellyknudsen8843 who knows they can change. Look at the history of the Romanov family.
It takes a revolution to make any change in Russia
Most of the population in every country are conservative, very ANTI-humanitarian and will support almost any war even if based on lies along with atrocities. The antiwar groups are almost always unpopular and usually emanate from younger population. This is what the Vietnam war was like in US also. The anti war vote was no more than 30 to 40 percent on a good day. Part of the antiwar group were people who wanted to nuke vietnam.
Military institutions are the most popular institutions on earth according to surveys.
Race, ethnic, gender, religious, immigration issues are another source of darkness and hatred in human population. Politicians who pander to it are called demagogues. Politicians like Trump and DeSantis are demagogues so are popular with many people. Even with their coziness with Putin, they don't lose much vote. This is the dark side that runs thru the human population since time immemorial. This is where true political conservatism comes from. Reagan's popularity stems from racism and vietnam war loss.
You should look up the Milgram Experiments.
When Russia fully becomes an isolated pariah state within next two years, most of the Russians can do a Kumbaya and re-elect Putin.
Do you know what Hitler mentioned as reason to start the war with Poland?
"We have to protect the German speaking population in Poland"
Does it sound familiar?
Not the same at all. Poland did not have two German speaking counties where the Polish government BANNED all German writing. Poland did not condone the burning alive of pro-German separatists collecting signatures for a petition. Poland did not constantly shell the German population. Poland did not shut down all radio stations with a separatist “anti-government view. DO NOT quit your day job! As a historian, you don’t know hee from haw.
@@rdleahey Thank you Mr. Roger Leahey for the history lesson. While your concern is about history fact (I won’t denial the importance of) my is about humanity. If you have Russian population in living in Ukraine territory (Recognized for the UN and the international community) Just denounce to the Human Right to investigate. If they are Pro-Russia, just move back.
However, if Russia is so concern about Russian Live, that justify the thousands of Russian and Ukrainian soldier and civilian who die?
What about the lives of Russian who get underwear poison? And so many who suffer from ‘accident falling from a window”? Those are no Russian lives? What about all the Russian in jail for over 10 years for using a forbidden word? Don’t you care about the lives of all Russian too?
My problem is with dictators and oppressive regime using fake nationalist ideal as pretext to oppresses the people!
@Roger Leahey
I'm guessing your history is what russia says it is.
You're referring i guess to Ukraine making Ukrainian language mandatory "for official use" is a world standard. There's over a 1000 languages. No government can function without an official language for all government documentation. All social systems fail.
Beyond, that, in home or general use, there was no mandatory language required in Ukraine.
“For English, press 1. For Spanish, press 2”. Yes, the Ukrainians banned the Russian language, but that’s minor compared to shelling the Russian population for YEARS and burning Russian protestors alive for collecting petitions. Neither side is good. My only concern is to prevent a nuclear Holocaust. I do not want billions of my tax money going to this violent stupidity. The waring factions need to be forced back to the negotiation table. Is that clear?
@@vvaldez0221 You have NO concern for “oppressive regimes”. Ukraine is one of the most repressive regimes in the world. Since you do not understand my issue, I will state it as clearly as possible. The primary goal is to prevent a stupid nuclear war. Both Russia and the Ukraine have trampled on the most basic human rights. This is NOT an issue of who’s right and who’s wrong. The issue is PREVENTING A NUCLEAR WAR. Is that clear enough? Screwed up history lessons DO NOT HELP.
North korean citizens are not very anxious about sanctions either.
Guess Russia is becoming more like them.
That seems to be the problem.
More like the EU…
@@axmat3436 Yeah yeah, go tend to your goats.
Yes, life in N Korea is ball of fun .
The best choice for Russia to save face is to declare victory and leave all of Ukraine immediately
so true..its not like Russians are actually going know its a lie,the serfs do as they are told.....you just gave Putin his exit plan.
Absolutely.
Putin:" Over my dead body."
World:"Oh so we have some terms".
The same way how Joe Biden declared victory in Afghanistan and peacefully left leaving all his military equipment.
@@alexsartre2453 just finishing off what Trump started, which in hindsight was great since it frees them up to be used in Europe if or when Russia tries to invade the west and when his cult "stands" to defend him when he get indicted for treason those same troops could be used to "pacify" them since they have the experience facing other Jihadist terrorists.so yeah, good on Dark Brandon
@@alexsartre2453 This is a time honored move, without having to admit you are wrong
You should ask those who might be drafted and sent to the front if they support the war. (Everyone else's opinion is irrelevant.)
If you look at the big picture and learn facts, then you will realize that the Russian military is intact, the ones fighting at the front are the People's Republic militia and their soldiers, the Russian Military are there as support.
U mean the homeless people and criminals they recruited because they can't get anybody lol
That is the true test and is why Putin dare not enforce a general mobilisation.
@@bigoldgrizzly Good point, and also it would be a tacit admission that things aren't going exactly 'as planned'.
@@klowen7778 Quite so ! Putin is dangling on a very fine thread as it is. I'm waiting for the 'twang' as it snaps ;
If Putin's support is so strong why the repression? The Russian people are very submissive. It means they in general support their leaders but if the leaders are changed they will very often quickly support the new leaders. The opposition against Putin is boiling to the right as well as to the left and they are professionals they know that fact. It is sad it is so in Russia but it will change but it takes generations.
well after putin there will be another dude like him. and until civil war or some revolution there wont be no dude that will make russia like normal free country. he will get poisoned.
there is also possibility that Russia get divided into more countries if it would have elections and stuff.
Don't forget they are lied to everytime putin opens his mouth just look at how he rounded ùp the young men who were sent to their deaths with little or no training at all after being told they were just going for trþaining but that was a ďď to your own people that is just sick knowing your lied to yet you canţ believe that your president is stealing billions of dollars from your country even buying himself a 300 million dollar yacht and 500 million dollar holiday castle sized house putin makes or breaks the oligarchs that have to cut him in on the billions he let's them steal wake up oh you can't you'll be poisoned by radioactive particles if you cross satin/putin, may the aliens step in and vaporize all who are planning to kill for putin as I've been speaking to the aliens who travel through a worm hole they are directing a meteor strike doen Apon Russia like there is no end boom noom Russia gone certain Russians will be saved by aliens who will transfer over 100 million and test that your not brainwashed or to far gone then returned yo Russia thank hod the aliens have stopped the nuclear war that was weeks away close now look up
They are just politically apathetic, most of them. The leader provides stability and in return the people give up political engagement and look the other way.
Russians have been conditioned for generations to be submissive, from the Tsars, through Soviet times to Putin. It’s one reason why true democracy has never taken hold. Giving free reign to an autocratic leader is the easier and safer option. It provides the stability, reassurance and comfort that they’ve been used to. You saw what happened when Yeltsin tried to implement democracy. Russian society couldn’t cope and started to fall apart.
What people seem to forget is that Russia has never had a culture/tradition of Democracy.
You support whatever Tsar is in the Kremlin at the time .
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 💛 💙 💛💙💛💙
Someone tell russians and their army is collapsing 🤣
Someone tell this moron EU’s collapsing as we speak and back paddling on price cap for russian gas czcams.com/video/ke948HiS2Ec/video.html

Pretty amazing how rural Russians (older) feel about this conflict. Sort of how rural Americans (older) feel about their lives in general.
I dont.
I have been to a third of the world...
Humans are generally not different. They all want to same things. It just looks a little different because culture, and history.
It's the same all around the world.
It’s called lack of Education living in Dark Ages narrow mindedness
They support it because Putin is sending mostly people from the former Republics and poor rural area. If Moscow and Saint Petersburg boys are coming home in boxes the support would be diminished
Hi, some Ukrainian or Russian should translate the 8 hour video presented here in this comment into Ukrainian and into Russian language. For total intel on Putin watch the 8 hour CZcams documentary "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil; Part 7 Switzerland's Sleeper Agent Putin" on CZcams channel "HomieLand Sickurity" on the powers behind the screens explaining the endless lies of our leaders and their Pharaonic Swiss origins giving all the orders out of the Alps, where putting has all his money in a SwiSS bank, and where he has his girlfriend Alina Kabaeva together with their two Putin kids.
They’re not looking at what the world looks at and how horrified we were, The people that still support this war from Russia all I can say is I’m shaking my head. smh
Незалежная хотя бы находится у наших границ. В отличии от (слишком длинный список)
May Ukraine soldiers be blessed with the Lord's protection!
More support from the USA UK military, more pressure, sanctions, against Russia. May Ukraine soldiers be blessed with the Lord's protection
Amen
EU militaries have also provided massive support. The German Gepards AA tanks are the reason why the Russian Air Force are cowering and not engaging in battle-ops, the former Eastern Bloc EU countries have sent upgraded Soviet equipment en-masse. The rest of EU NATO countries have offered up modern Anti-tank and Anti-Aircraft infantry weapons.
To say it’s USA and UK, is disparaging to the rest of the West, who’ve provided tens of Billions of dollars in arms and NATO training camps for Ukraine.
Not to mention Eastern European EU countries bearing the massive weight of Ukrainian refugees more so than the rest of the world.
Yes, sanctions are definitely something that will affect Putin, by no means ordinary people.
@@Elagin210What makes you believe it was pointed in the Putin's direction?)
Here in the USA, we call our Vatniks 'Trumpanzees', and they're both a menace.
Vatnicks are Democrats. They are the only people arresting their political opponents in the US.
@@ThomasEPeters - get a grip, Vatnick. In the land of *true* equal justice, Trump et. al. would have been in jail decades ago.
When Russia is forced to mobilised then you will see the support evaporate the flow of coffins back to Russia will eventually tell.
The longer Russia
They cremate the dead then list them as missing. No body bags or coffins to see.
It isn't like the great patriotic war in ww2. It is now a bully trying to take something that doesn't belong to them. They are the aggressor

It took Barry Goldwater, the conservative leader and senator from the mafia controlled state arizona to vote against supporting the war that finally brought war to an end. He was the biggest supporter of the war. He knew the war was lost.
The only way for the Russian people to turn away from war is for them to lose it. Ukraine absolutely has to win this war.
Everyone has the government they deserve.
I don't think I deserve Liz Truss
There are apologists for Putin's imperialism who live in the West. They deserve to suffer under Putin, but they don't.
There are those who struggle for democracy and the rule of law in Russia. They sometimes sacrifice their freedom. They deserve to live in a society with freedom and the rule of law, but they don't.
@@topcat8804 @Top Cat You as an individual possess far more power than you realize. You are lucky enough to live in a semi-democracy so get organized and vote out those who threaten your liberty and prosperity.
I’m wondering if you meant this a super deep kinda way.
@@topcat8804 Jeez, give the woman a chance. What's it been, 1 whole day?
Russia's future seems to be very bleak even if they can manage to win this war. The hard and difficult to accept truth is that, the mass majority of the Russian people have lost their capabilities in every respect in order to be regarded or respected as a capable, powerful and influential nation. They are rather struggling to exist on the face of the planet. For how long would this poor nation be able to hold this huge landscape together? It is unlikely to be long. Because, Russians are no longer a nation of brave hero fighters, rather they are now a nation of cowards. They are reluctant and frightened to fight. The west is saying that, Russians have forgotten to fight all together.
The Russian army has certainly shown that they don't know how to fight... 50,000+ dead in a little over 6 months?
They will break apart within 10 years.
I was correct about the Soviet . I’m going to be correct about the Russian Republic.
Also I fear the USA will break into a civil war within that same time frame.
The hardest part for Russians is going to be that they are totally cut off from the West. Let's face it , Russians are mostly not Asians. Do they really feel more connected to atheist China or the Muslim Stans? How will they feel about being totally spurned and demonised in the West for a very , very long time? No more education or vacationing in Greece or Europe , maybe even the US will close their border to them . This will in my opinion be very hard. Naturally it will effect the richer Russians more than the lower middle classes but surely it must hurt.
Thank you for your comments
Putin is a stupid coward
Everything you just described fit the west perfectly. They could be collapsing any moment hence the backtrack on Price cap for russian gas czcams.com/video/ke948HiS2Ec/video.html
“ Mandatory target reduction of electricity at peak hours, mandatory heating restriction at 18C in offices “ . Protest in Germany, Czech, France, Italy and UK which mainstream medias will never cover, already in the middle of September. European leaders are subsidizing with Billions of “Aid Packages” to the energy suppliers so dumb normal europeans won’t feel the pinch as much and rise up.
Industries shutting down, farming shutting down. Arab spring but for EU is coming.
There is no feeling of regret because the war shouldn’t have been, the people are disturbed, a little, because they have not killed enough quickly enough.
I wonder how aware the Russians are of the real number of dead and injured and of the cemeteries filling up with young men?
Not as much as the UkroNAZIS , the odds are 10 Ukrainians to one Russian
Are you also aware of the afghan, libians, nd Africans killed by America n NATO
@@happyletebele6740 yes. Are you using an example of something else most define as "bad" as proof the russians aren't being absolute bastards in Ukraine?
@@happyletebele6740 So, what's your point, this page is dealing with Ukraine.
@@happyletebele6740 So how many their own people got killed by themselves before US and NATO intervened? Ever heard of Genocide? Ethnic cleansing? I'll take US and NATO any day over dictators, crazies and people like you, or you are one of them?
The war was and is about oil and gas. Ukraine was charging Russia to transport oil and gas to sea ports. Ukraine also has deposits of its own which Russia eyes as a way Ukraine more aligns with the west
Ukraine has every right to…
War is about stopping Ukraine joining European Union as all former east European country’s thriving after leaving soviet backward block…
Russia is just oil, and unwanted gas..backward kip
He wants to trade with whomever, but if his neighbour wants to trade with whomever, then he wanna gets boiled up,doesnt sounds right, plain and simple.
Hard to take these results seriously from a country which undermines peoples opinions, especially the critical ones.
The word needs a miracle on Russia. Pray for peace!
Yes I hear these fellows but I cannot subscribe to their statements as fact. My sources, and there are plenty paint a different picture though not a citizenry pushing a regime change.
There is however many strong elements of unrest exposing themselves, and a far more significant percentage who are fearful to do so.
I'm not sure if there exist a method yet to draw out an accurate, and honest polling of real life on the ground in Russia.
As for sanctions effect, they've lost an incredible volume of revenue that isn't, hasn't, and cannot be replaced by their current trade partners.
Some of the numbers are honestly quite staggering. Based on these revenue/ trade losses alone there is no one that can tell me the citizens are not feeling it.
Anyways, while I largely disagree with the video clip from these fellows, I do appreciate their opinions and time Thank you,

Glory to God,
Victory for Ukraine,
Rise Free Nations!
I fear as the socioeconomic situation gets more and more dire not just in Russia, but in China, EUR, and the US that an all out war will be inevitable.. hope it won't go like that..
A large part of Russia's GDP involves gas and oil. This is fine currently as, although sales volume has dropped, prices have risen. One of the causes of the invasion was the discovery of new gas fields in Ukraine, which would undercut the Russian market. Once hostilities are over the Ukrainian gas fields will be exploited and Russian GDP will take a strong hit - then Russians will know that there WAS a war and Russia lost it. Possibly then they will take a greater interest in world affairs.
Good insight. Few discuss this.
The good out of this is that the west is moving towards more renewables faster now. Once that happens, and other producing countries fill the gap in Europe, prices will fall and that is when Russian reduced market share will bite. Mean time we switch to wind, geothermal, hydrogen fuel and solar faster. Good for climate change.
Also a large part of the Russian economy is their military industrial complex. This war will devastate the Russian war machine.
And the donbas was about coal and other natural resources. That's why Russia conducted psychological corporations in the Don boss and sent mercenaries there in 2006 and 2007
The claim that Russia invaded because Ukraine discovered oil and gas is speculation. What evidence do you have that this was what Russia concerned about? I haven't seen any, all Putin and the foreign minister have talked about is Russian history, the A3ov battalion, discrimination against Russians, and NATO expansion. There's no evidence that this is about oil and gas, and I've followed this conflict since it started on February 24th, so I think I would have seen credible evidence if there were any. You're simply passing off speculation as fact. Here's a counter argument, why would Russia be concerned about oil and gas in Ukraine given that Russia has the Nord Stream which enables them to export oil and gas at low cost, while Ukraine has no means to extract and export their oil and gas for years to come. Furthermore, Europe has responded to the war with heavy sanctions, so if anything destroyed their oil and gas industry, it was the invasion itself.
Very good
Un avestruz. Eso es! 🤔
I gather what's missing from this is how the polling is conducted (Russian official calls you and asks you a few questions; the heart races and you might answer in a sympathetic way), and the outsourcing of politics to whomever is in power: 'you make the decisions, we will always support you.' And yes, I agree, the war isn't brought home to the Russian people living in the big Western cities like Moscow or St Petersburg, the troops are coming from the rural provinces. "It's over the hill somewhere, doesn't affect us, and the TV news is all supporting the war", so no surprises there. But I think, like the tennis players on the Titanic, they just don't know or want to know that there's a problem with the ship of state. They all felt a big lurch, things are listing a bit, something's amiss, but it's not enough to bother with until the alarm bells start ringing. 🔔
as a Russian I'm starting to feel respect for the US foreign policy: It's brought China closer to Russia, which wasn't difficult, but it's also bringing India closer to China, which is quite an achievement!
It's interesting that the more rural areas, areas outside big cities, support the war because the impression I have been given is that's where the soldiers are from. Young men from these regions are given a financial incentive to join the army and go to war. Therefore coffins and wounded people are what these rural people see all the time, yet still support their leader.
You are right, I was pondering the same thing, but then again you need to put in the equation the massive propaganda that takes place, the impossibility for that rural population to reach alternative sources of info, and to top that propaganda many may lack the capacity for much critical thinking and serious questioning due to age(heavy propaganda) and social circumstances.
So they have been fed a narrative of Nazis and a resurrected Hitler and who knows what else.. Still every second family unfortunately must have already received a coffin, who knows how they process it, it’s so damn sad and such a pity.
@@onlymelodic109 yes I agree their perspective is so different from those with access to a wider media outlet. Like you, I find it so hard to understand why this is happening.
Some people. Not many and not loud enough.
It’s hard to have any sympathy with Russia when they have these views, with their leadership & its backing we have to look to further isolate them.
No more war please.
Ukrainian are the first victim of this conflict, Russian people are the second, Why is so much poverty in Russia and very Rich and powerful oligarchs? That is the real problem
Russian people must understand that their silence is making them part of the problem and they must bear some responsibility as well. They are afraid of retaliation, but other people are sufferings too.
They must understand is not the Russian people, is the action of their leaders and they support them
Is is ok to say that the Russian people need to voice concerns and greavence against the war. However in reality, doing so in Russia can involve a long jail sentence, which most ordinary people would fine absolutely terrifying to do.
Russia will pay for their actions the seized assets will be sold to rebuild Ukraine
Russia is not the United States with a great democracy, accept it. Everyone who expresses dissatisfaction will be imprisoned here. I sincerely believe that the Russian people are not to blame for what the authorities are doing to their country, everyone is just scared and cannot express their opinion. There is no democracy in Russia and never has been, and it is unlikely to be before Russians are shown that it is possible to live differently. Until then, everyone will just keep a low profile so as not to get a prison sentence. Personally, I don't want to go to jail. I'm sorry, but even if the whole world turns upside down, I still have a family to provide for and I'm not ready to leave them to their fate, even if other people's lives depend on it. I am sure you would have done the same, so I ask you to understand us and our position in this situation.
@@robertwillis4061 civil disobedience. If the entire country decided not to participate for a WEEK, in taxes and support of the government. The government would have to act. And they can’t put everyone in jail.
@@Elagin210 Thank you for your sincere statement. I respect your position. I do know what is to live under repressive regime, I was born under a very cruel dictator in Latin America, every house we was force to have a big picture of the dictator in the living room, otherwise the whole family will go to jail and tortured. We manage to have a shortwave radio (that was the way to hear the news from all over the world and not just local propaganda) and listen the news from radio station like 'Radio Moscow', 'Radio Habana Cuba', 'Voice of America' and 'BBC of London' among others. And yes, we was force to march in rallies to honor the Dictator.
How do you suggest to 're-educate' Russian people? I know they are good people but they keep supporting leaders with ideology from last century (Soviet Union and the Tsar era). That mean others innocents people has to die and suffer because they refuse to live under oppressively system?
Control the mass media and you control peoples thoughts and actions.
From what I gather Russia is finaly waking up
the west has not attacked them they invaded ukraine. and ukraine is beating them.
he mentions THE WAR not the ( special military operations ) so they acknowledges it is a WAR !
Ukraine is coming knocking..🤣🤣🤣
Did somebody wake these guys up in the middle of the night to do this video? Or are they just thinking they are superior to the listener? Gee, thanks guys for talking to us lowly peasants.
People that support War should be blown up and people that want Peace should get peace. Hope that’s Gods will.
poor sound quality,,fix it
i was not totally convinced by what i saw here. i remember the video about the bus where the war veteran in a wheelchair who lost both his legs in ukraine tried to get on a bus. the driver told him to bugger off. the veteran claimed he deserved respect. the passengers were laughing when the driver threatened the veteran with a baseball bat. the veteran cleared off.
Russians are ok with cruelty.
For those who remember Seinfeld episodes. When Kramer got out of jail, he moved to Russia and became Putin’s advisor.
The young ones are the smart ones
Now, the big question, with the destruction in Ukraine by Russia, how much money will be required to rebuild the country infrastructure? And who is going to paid for? Beside of the billions of dollar expended by Nato countries. At the end Russia must be held accountable for the damaged of the war.
You'll pay it.
Russia’s problems are so easily solved. Move your military out of Ukrainia’s sovereign territory entirely. Hitler tried this move in Europe in the 30s- it didn’t work then either.
Now russians from Moscow and S. Petersburg WILL GET USED to see the corps of their loved ones arrive from the front line.
Maybe hey don’t know that a bunch of their people are dead
The focus should be on the younger generation and that opposes the war and isolation from the rest of the world's coltures and life styles. The future for the westen Russians with Europe and that is where it always was!
TO ALL VIEWERS: Ukraine is a cause worth supporting. Let's all contact our government representatives to urge them to increase military aid to Ukraine. You can call your representatives, send them an email, send them a good old-fashioned letter, respond to one of their Tweets ... something. Take the time to help Ukraine now ... you'll be proud of yourself when you do.
Did you miss billions and billions sent.
@@Fido-vm9zi No ... I didn't miss that. I'm saying we should send billions and billions more until Ukraine is free.

what is difficult for everyone to understand, man has evolved, he is no longer interested in the possession of things and the rich, he just wants to live his life with his family and friends, because time is passing, these nonsense of wars and misunderstandings belong to leaders who do not know to adopt the future and resort to the method of introducing us to their problems, and when the time comes and we are fed up with their nonsense, it will be miserable and bitter for their lives and those who support their cause
Russia's limited capabilities vis-à-vis the West make Russian obsession employable by others .
I happily give what I can, and forego any niceties, to support Ukraine's advance. I would prefer that they stop at Moscow though. Just far enough to bury Putin, since Russians can't seem to figure that one out.
That's not what my Russian friends are telling me then anything publically said on CZcams can and will be used against you
Lost- 2 to 4 generations of people lost over some stupid war!
Such a waste of resources that money goes to pay for killing instead of helping keep people fed and warm?
Sad to say, but the feelings of the general Russian population will remain irrelevant, as long as Putin can continue to finance his adventures from the sale of energy and natural resources. Besides, the Russians have had a lotta 'practice' with this sorta thang.
Keep in mind that everything the media, including this video, says about this war is highly censored. Do not forget the teacher who got fired for suggesting, “We should look at what BOTH sides are saying.” If you believe you know what’s going on by listening solely to the American main stream media, rest assured, you know nothing about this war. My opinion is that the West should be striving for a negotiated peace before this turns into a nuclear war. In this, I agree with Henry Kissinger, et al.
The weather channel app is garbadge!
Russians don't think. Silly question.

mush rooms kept in the dark fed shit
Ordinary working class people (responsible people who don't have 5 children)only want to make sure their kids grow up fed and happy .My boy certainly won't be fighting for millionaire oil and gas nut cases .No chance .Note ....Always remember their are more GOOD people than bad in this world .
I'd like to see these same figures now 😂
If Russia/Putin wasn't mentioned, we would have no idea who was being spoken of, because both the West and Russia have very similar issues.
That's rather peculiar because, if what you're arguing is explaining what it should explain, a valid question which current models can't explain with greater probability, then it MUST make this difference to be valid. But, nothing of the sort is being stated. To be sure, no valid question was stated to be explained.
More telling, however, no methodology was used to rule-out biases, so we know with certainty that we're being informed only of those biases.
Russia: Once a mess, always a mess.
It is amazing how effective propaganda remains in the modern era.
Live with Putin after this life too

Russians interviewing russians
Yes somehow it is never Russia's fault; It was not their fault when they invaded Chechnya, Osetia, Crimea and now Ukraine. Everyone is always somehow at fault but Russia who is doing the actual invading...
Каждая российская семья потеряла в войне 1941-1945гг. своего отца, деда, прадеда. Умейте смелость уважать этих людей. czcams.com/video/dvUW9DTG2_o/video.html Every Russian family lost its father, grandfather, and great-grandfather in the 1941-1945 war. Have the courage to respect these people.
We are not in the 40s and you, Russians, are acting as if you were. More Katyn in Ukraine and blaming others. Shame on Russia
@@victoriawallace5095 Figure out the topic. I sincerely feel sorry for people like you with a Russophobic opinion.
so says the expert who is speaking from millions of Russian people what Ally
You have some bad echoing going on.
Older and some younger Russians needs re educating. They really are just like robots
Warning: Please disregard the data shared by the makes of this video!
What they are not telling you is there is absolutely no such thing as a ‘free’ opinion poll in Russia.
Russia is a police state where the authorities will not hesitate to use ‘opinions’ against the people who express them.
Also, there no such thing as anonymity in Russia, as if it so chooses, the state will track down and punish anyone who publicly or privately expresses any view which they consider to be unacceptable.
As such, only the ‘very brave’ or ‘very stupid’ would ever freely share a negative opinion against Putin for fear of state reprisals.
Russian municipal deputies filed an impeachment of Putin with the Duma and received a fine
Arthur i 100% believe and aggree with your truthfull and simple said comment,it all comes down to "GREAT FEAR" in a police state. But for world peace, as long as this police state dont stop bothering other countries progress, they must be STOP!!!!I, I'm quite sure they can still managed on their own and have their own peacefull diplomatic relations with nations intrested doing business with them, nobody forces nobody and nobody invades another country just because that country feels fit to do bussiness with whomever.
Do you remember the recent news story about the teacher who got FIRED for daring to tell his student that maybe we should look at both sides of the issue”. Democracy in America is dead as a door nail.

Looks like this is your opinion piece 😑

"War "....there is no war......do as you do serfs..live as your conditioned to live.
RAY BAR: Extremely poor grammar - allow me to correct it. You wrote .. 'YOUR conditioned .. ". This is incorrect; it should be written .. "YOU'RE .. ". This is what is known as a 'contraction', [as one takes "YOU ARE" .. , (a bi-syllabic phrase), removes the letter 'A' from the start of the word 'ARE', and inserts an apostrophe, (one of these ( ' ) .. ), instead, between 'YOU' and the remaining part of the word 'ARE', (.. '-RE'), to link them and form the more easily pronounced, 'contracted', concatenated, monosyllabic form .. 'YOU'RE.' ] Unfortunately, 'YOUR' spelling of the word, (as I've just rendered it, in capitals, 'YOUR'), means .. 'BELONGING TO YOU', and not .. 'YOU ARE', (as the context in which you used it in 'YOUR' sentence suggests was the meaning you wished to convey). Happy to advise and assist .. Mr.Swann, South-West England, (where English is spoken and written correctly.)

Sorry for you lost and i get it. But let the people vote. Why live in country were your voice don't even matter. People are slowley leaving that country so it will fade on it's own

We Russians saved your asses from German fascism at the cost of 27 million people 80 years ago, and once again national fascism has reared its head, on the territory of Ukraine. Do you think we will tolerate this? You're wrong. The Russian nation consists of 200 nationalities, where we live in respect for each other. For example, I am an ethnic Volga Bulgarian, I have two native languages: Bulgarian-Tatar and Russian. We will not let our multinational culture and centuries-old civilization be destroyed.

STOP this war ! @ Russia: The world needs peace so it can repair war damages, grieve, advance....War is immoral and wasreful...wasteful.... America remembers Vietnam, Afghanistan defeats.... We understand.
I PRAY FOR PEACE....
Most of the younger educated russians know what is going on , they are not stupid but frightened to openly criticise Putin which sadly is understandable
Most of the population in every country are conservative, very ANTI-humanitarian and will support almost any war even if based on lies along with atrocities. The antiwar groups are almost always unpopular and usually emanate from younger population. This is what the Vietnam war was like in US also. The anti war vote was no more than 30 to 40 percent on a good day. Part of the antiwar group were people who wanted to nuke vietnam.
Military institutions are the most popular institutions on earth according to surveys.
Race, ethnic, gender, religious, immigration issues are another source of darkness and hatred in human population. Politicians who pander to it are called demagogues. Politicians like Trump and DeSantis are demagogues so are popular with many people. Even with their coziness with Putin, they don't lose much vote. This is the dark side that runs thru the human population since time immemorial. This is where true political conservatism comes from. Reagan's popularity stems from racism and vietnam war loss.
You should look up the Milgram Experiments.
When Russia fully becomes an isolated pariah state within next two years, most of the Russians can do a Kumbaya and re-elect Putin.
Just settle peacefully. PLEASE. It is going on too LONG😢
You're naive. This is pure evil against good.
@@richardmoloney689 yep, Putin is the 👹👈 666
I suppose the Russian population is sufficiently well-informed to support their positions....
Are you sufficiently informed? For instance, has anyone told you how arrogant you are recently?
Are you also informed about how Afghanistan kicked Russian Butt?
☝🤣
What about the Aghan kicking US butt's after Trillion USA spent over 20 years?
Get real. What are you smoking?
@@Hereford1642 No, they haven't Jack. Would you like to tell me how arrogant I am?
They would be sufficiently well-informed, if independent media outlets aren't banned and threatened with 15 years prison time.
