Many russians outside of russia still support russia. It's not the lack of accessible information, I'm afraid.

russians outside of russia likely had wealth allowing them to leave which likely means they are associated with the corruption relatively high up.
Plenty of them are middle class or lower. It's not that hard for a Russian citizen to get a work visa in the the EU.
And while half of them understand they are in the EU because Putin's ideology made Russia a shithole, despite having all the means to be a developed country, the other half suffers from a terminal case of cognitive dissonance.
Truck driving is a big thing for Russians in the U.S. Spoke to one who barely spoke English.
or opposite chased out of the country and fortune to be alive
I doubt those are the ones who are supportive.
You haven't met my father then :/
I guess its like our maga crowd. so many you can tell are on public assitance of some kind and they fight to screw themselves.
I think its important to differentiate "many" from "majority". I've been to pro-Ukraine anti-Russia demonstrations and there were enough Russians there to convince me that the majority of Russians outside of Russia do not support the invasion. That being said, there are definitely plenty of idiots. In at least one case, I know someone who decided that despite not having lived there for 40 years, that now is the time to develop a sense of patriotism and return... it did not go well.
Tell us more π
Idk, the russians i know hate russia
That settles it then.
Source? I only have anecdotal reference, but all the Russian people i know hate Putin for what he has done to their home country. Independent from where i know them, some via work, some via friends and family.
Same, anecdotal reference. People I know, distant acquaintances.
Many =/= all.
you can't stop the signal, mal
