@wholesomedonut nah, in the interest of russian people, russian regions that feed moskovites have to gain independence. The reason why most russians support war is not because they live in great conditions.It's because they're forced into poverty by moscow and developing critical thinking is not only not on the agenda, but is outright impossible. Truly good russians understand that, Siberian intellectuals understand it. Even some liberals understand it, but ...
@wholesomedonut ... there is only one russian who is publicly and consistently voices and elaborates upon these notions: Dmitrij "KamikadzeDead" Ivanov.
Futhermore, you have to be appreciate that I used to be part of russian activist movements for free russia prior to the start of the war in Ukraine in 2014, I know more russian culture than an average russian townsfolk and write better russian too.
@wholesomedonut to sum up: it is indeed difficult to functionally talk to moscovites who are, by and large, satisfied with status quo.
