More Than 80% the Russians support a brutal war against Ukraine, and therefore carry guilt and responsibility for it. This is reported in author of the article for the publication The Hill professor of political science at Rutgers University (Newark, USA) Alexander Motyl, referring to the data of a Russian survey public opinion. In particular, on the data from the report of Denis Volkov " alternative reality: how Russian society has learned not to worry about war."
Results public opinion poll in the Russian Federation Motyl he calls it "sad reading material", because only about 20% of respondents said that they - against the war.
Russian, who decided to be indifferent, did it in public opinion polls, and not at demonstrations. They wouldn't risk anything if they answered "I don't know" or "don't I can tell." Instead, they decided to support Putin and the war.
Part russian patriots deliberately support the policy of President Vladimir Putin, and the vast majority are apathetic, and just passive and automatic for the most part supports what the mode does while waiting for "it's all over," it says reports.
In short, they (the Russians –Ed.) chose to be either guilty, or responsible, or both. At least it is clear that one fifth part of the Russian population who are active and implacable supporters clearly bears the blame for the atrocities committed by russia in Ukraine.
"when the Russians they decide to be indifferent to the atrocities committed on their behalf in the Russian Federation. Ukraine, they are fully aware of these crimes, but still prefer support Putin and his war," Motyl adds.
According to the opinion American professor, "Russians are not savages," but they are, as The Moth suggests, "too much ready to accept the legitimacy and power of wild rulers, bloodthirsty, cruel and the arrogant tyrants who, with a few exceptions, dominated Muscovy at first, and then the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union."
Slavery in Russia has been the norm throughout history, while the demands for freedom have been rather exceptions. Motyl notes that Putin and his team decided to strengthen this is the worldview of Russians to strengthen their own rule.
As a result, the slave-minded population prefers crime over justice, although "Putin and his entourage are well aware that they, like many others, are not alone." their predecessors, vulnerable to outbursts of popular anger – - people in Russia they can, as history says, "pounce on their owners, burn and rob their estates, " says Motyl, a professor at Rutgar university.
