This is why Putin is afraid of the elections. Not because he needs to adhere to the result, but because it can be a catalyst for protests. And protests are a feedback loop where the more people are protesting, the more safe it is for more people to also protest. I hope the Russian people can get rid of their leaders and stop the war they don't want.
@JohnDClay @LaFinlandia
The vast majority of Russians support the war and Putin.
The vast majority of Russians respond to polls saying they support the war and Putin. The actual margin is much more thin. But unfortunately there are still many many Russians who support the war.
Edit: here's a video explaining the phenomenon https://youtu.be/WrO5-fXTbYs
@JohnDClay Not 'many.' Most.
Where are you getting that? Polls as I said aren't a great indicator since people are afraid.
