I've already seen the lines for voting for Nadezhdin, the only open anti-war candidate. I've also seen russians' rage with Navalny's death. Liberal russians know they are a lot but they are scared to act. Unfortunately, democracy is something people need to fight for, and the process of earning it is always violent and bloody. It's also unfortunate that most of political bloggers in russia encourage waiting out. It will lead to acceptance, instead of raising stress, anxiety and as a result, actions. By not changing the regime forcefully they invite the next president to be the same if not worse, because they will know they are allowed to do anything.
Again, it's the 3rd year of war, they should act faster, it's already been for too long. This is the moment the government is destabilized the most.
Were I russain, Id simply move abroad, because I dont wanna risk my life and dont wanna feed the war machine

@ForestOfTrolls as for the matter of who is more open minded, faithful or atheist, it's a pretty subjective matter. Atheists are also believers in their own ways, we all believe in something. All in all I agree with your takes but maybe except the slow paced changes. As a Ukrainian myself Ive been observing their liberal info field for quite a while now, and from what I see, russia already has enough like minded anti-war people, who could make the changes. The problem is their learned helplessness syndrome. If they were more brave, they'd already riot, build up communication and volunteer channels.

@pikachu No, I did not mean to say that "Ukrainians are getting it from emperor of Russia". Firstly, president of russia is no emperor, but simply a dictator abusing his power for his own means while many in his own country are living in poverty - a wise ruler would firstly look after his own people and then focus on foreign afairs, even wiser one would not resolve to disagreements with neighbouring country by invading it with army.
That is all I have to say.

@CapyBlepy I agree, however lots of those Russian people are blinded by faith - in general atheists are more open-minded while people that are following organised faith are more prone to getting influenced to do something they would not do on their own will.
For that reason we need more games like Indika - it shows precisely how harmful can be blindly following dogmatic organised church of any kind.
However I disagree that all Russian people are evil, many of them oppose current regime, but sadly cannot change it - even if they would by some miracle overthrow current government - new exactly same minded people would grab power there - the problem is much more deep-rooted than any quick solutions.
For all these reason I think the changes needs to be slow paced, starting from showing that people following organised faith can be misused for their country goals - people there need to be shown that they can think freely.
Personaly I wonder if that country will ever change for better.

Just so you remember these comments when someone says "russians are good, government is not. It's putin who kills". Bs. Maybe some are, but stupid people are always more and they will eat anything that their government tells them
