One aspect that is usually get forgotten by Russians and people saying that on HN is that it is either sanctions that will lead to some people life goes miserable anyway or a war which 99.99% will be ww3 with A potential nuclear destruction of the planet. so if they don't want sanctions I also don't think they want this war. The only solution for them other than these two is to rise up as they are the only chance for that to go without a war. If you think the price of rising up against putin is higher then prepare to live with sanction and probably prepare for a war if things got escalated outside Ukraine.

In the mean time, try to think more about the actual people who are getting killed, losing their homes everything they have. And they don't know if their family members are alive or not. Don't play victim while you're at least contributing to the war efforts with your taxes. Never mention what Russian military did in Syria for years so it is not even something new.

sorry for being harsh, I understand that many Russians are against the war and get caught in sanctions but trying to play the victim card without taking into consideration that silence here is not acceptable is hard to believe.
