Do you have any insight to how other educated Russians feel?

I don't like to speak for others, but the educated Russians I'm in touch with are universally against this invasion.
Does that include those in Moscow and St Petersburg? On what grounds are they opposed?
Both cities have a lot of affluent people with an income much larger that the country's average and access to multiple source of news and information. It could be my bubble, but my friends are heavily opposed. Most of them and myself have left the country. Some weren't able to (depends heavily on age and their family situation).

Yes, there are some younger professionals who for some reason are OK with the war. Stopped talking to them completely.
