My own take is that there are ruzzians (pro-SMO, happy for russia to invade and occupy a sovereign country, attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure, and happy to excuse war-crimes when convenient for them) and normal russians, a mostly apolitical & apathetic bunch of people who try to keep their head down, some of which vote with their feet, and a few stand-up folks who will call a spade a spade publicly. No real surprises & pretty typical population make-up, in other words.

Personally, I don't think russia deserves to wear a "great power" party hat. It's the wrong horse to bet on for a chance of a better world.

Foreigners are bad for fighting back against our attempts to destroy their economy and country after already succeeding once before just a few decades ago

They're only good when they're apolitical because they completely ignore our attempts to destroy their lives for our profit
