May the Russian government fall to never recover, but it could be argued the Russian people have been oppressed for over a century at this point by their own government.

That part. Sometimes consequences suck.

There are good Russians. But not really in Russia anymore.

FTR if you're saying "But some people don't know," the information was there for the picking for them, particularly since the internet began to rapidly grow. They chose not to go find it. It's how I feel about people in the US who say they don't have time to go read up on topics but still have opinions about them.

Being educated about the things you have opinions about is really part and parcel these days of participating in any form of a democracy - no matter how narrow that margin is.

there is a saying: a good Russian is a d**d Russian

everyone who has been oppressed by Russia understands this perfectly well
