The sadder truth may be that Russians might not be interested in removing Putin. Decades of propaganda, murdering of opposition, and authoritarian response to protests has grown a people that largely believes in their leader and is also afraid to openly oppose authority.

So most Russians are innocent and suffer by unfair sanctions that should be directed instead towards people Pro-Putin, like most Russians claim to be?

This looks like a circular argument.

The sadder truth may be that you won't be getting anything much better than Putin from Russia in its current state.

This is not true. Even just the opposition party leader Navalny is good enough. Good people exist in Russia. Putin just needs to be removed from the helm.

>This is not true. Even just the opposition party leader Navalny is good enough.

Yeah, only because he's anti-Putin. People who follow internal deals more closely remember how he was marching with slogans "Russia for russians, Moscow for moscovians" and such. He always was very opportunistic in my opinion.

I respect him for what he's done regarding investigations but he's not a president material.

>Good people exist in Russia.

Sure, but being a "good person" does not qualify you as president. No to mention that "good" is subjective. Many people see Putin as a good person.

Russia deserves better than racist Navalny
