More and more stories like this are coming out about how Russian soldiers have been misinformed and brainwashed by the government-controlled media and their superiors. It's difficult to tell who is telling the truth...
It's not remotely difficult to know who to believe.
Not sure. Bystanders and outsiders are often quick to judge other people's situations.
@Ryo1 Knowing that over 7,000 Russians have been arrested, and worse, for protesting the Russian invasion of Ukraine, indicates that a lot of Russian citizens are well aware that they're being lied to.
I'm not judging. I'm going by what has been substantiated.
Being a "bystander" doesn't mean I'm "quick to judge".
It means I have been paying attention for quite a while.
That's what I do.
I pay attention.
