    Of course there civilians in Russia. Most people in Russia are similar to those elsewhere, just trying to get on with their lives despite the stupid decisions their government is making which they lack any real power to affect.

      I HIGHLY doubt that most people in Russia are similar to those elsewhere. People in Russia have been through hell and back and most stayed there just because they can’t be bothered to do anything - in fact, a big portion supports it all as well, because “they don’t know different” (which I personally don’t believe anymore - Russians have internet as well and for over 20 years now. Not striving and wanting better lives and just looking out for personal gains is the hell mentioned)

              Why so emotional? Do you really think Putin would kill millions of Russians marching on the Kreml? That would logistically only be possible with nukes.

              The problem is that there aren’t millions of Russians who feel that they need to do something about their country.

              Just look at history, worse regimes than the current Russian ones have been toppled by the people.
