[@marienkavergnes1627]

As you point, "brothers" is such an empty jar which can be filled with any meaning, this malleability evolving with the needs of the government through time. Some swallow it blindly and willingly (How horrible, indeed!). Plus the term "brothers" takes such a primitive, archaic connotation in such a context. Followed by "motherland" in this guy's next sentence, it reveals how the current Russian propaganda keeps the actual, complex mechanisms of geopolitics and international relations of today away from the populace's simple minds ... Words like "brother" and "mother"-land are easily integrated by a population who lives in clans - the family clan and clans of friends. In a culture where people are divided into two categories: "one's" (svoi"), and strangers, that is people who don't belong to one's group ("chuzhye"). Such close family and friendship ties are not much present anymore in Western European countries but help people in Russia maintain the solidarity and assistance which the state has outsourced to them (the state helps less and less families, the elderly, handicapped people, single families (women) and women physically abused by their partners, ...) ...

It's hard for me to understand why CNN, BBC and other media show live Ukrainian soldiers with symbols of Nazi Germany. As if the whole world turned a blind eye to what is happening in Ukraine now. Doesn't anyone care about history, because our ancestors fought for the right to exist.

[@sahaakhiyat3703]

Mostly cultural. Mentality of the people that was living under the authoritarian regime for few centuries in a row looks like this. Most of the people either pro-government (watches TV and nothing else, hence believe government 100%) or just "I don't care, it is none of my business. I don't want any problems. Leave me alone, please" type. "You don't understand politics do not interfere.", "Are you the smartest one here ??? Shut up", "We don't know all things. Leave that to ones who works with this and know things", "Don't stand out, you can get yourself some trouble on your ass" Most of these comes from the parents with uprising when you was a child. Echoes of soviet union. Combine such teachings with soviet motto of "Everywhere are enemies outside of our homeland" and the fear of 90s (when extreme poverty crushed every post-soviet country. Russians, mostly the old generation, extremely scared of that times) from where Putin saved them as they believe and you will get the most toxic basis for the current situation. Among all the people of ex Russian Empire and USSR, Russians somehow have this mentality the most. As a resident of post-soviet country I've seen a lot of people with that mentality in my country. We can see such problems in another post-soviet countries also but not too such extremes. It actually even amazes us, people of another countries that was a part of Russian Empire and USSR in the past, "How they are able to tolerate that ? What is the capacity of their tolerance ?". The ones that are not like these 2 types above with times start to giving up in all ways. When you live in a corrupt country where the majority is either supports it, either doesn't give a fuck you just start to lose hope and think like "What can we do ? My opinion doesn't matter anyway. How can I change that ?", "How meetings will help ? I will be fucked up by regime and that's all. What's the point ?". Which you saw in the video. That where that resignation feelings come. You support it or try to not be the part of it. But as we know "You may no be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you". And after the war started it is first time when politics finally came to them directly, straight-up to their houses with the draft paper.

Because they have a deal with Putin. Putin gets to do what he wants as long as it doesn't affect them. Then they pretend to be apolitical. Putin has just broken the deal. It's going to take them a little bit to wise up. Maybe a couple of dead family members. And I don't think they know that so far there is 55000 dead Russians and 160,000 hurt. I think they're told about 10% of that. But that makes no sense because they want to conscript 300,000 people. If the casualties are only 5,000 why would you recruit 300,000? All together including prisoners of war are well over 200,000. That's why Putin wants 300,000

It is crazy how apathetic russians STILL are even now after this crazy announcement. only around 1000 people were protesting in the big cities. the apathy and fear in russians is ridiculous, especially after the backdrop of how russians always say the west is spoiled and coddled and soft, but when it is time for them to rise up and resist against a government that is clearly out of their mind, they are the ones who are soft like sheep, and they hope that they can somehow evade the draft, instead of doing the right thing and band together and resist.

But there are so many people in Russia who are brainwashed by the propaganda and still believe what government tells them. And those who are against are scared to go for protests because they may be severely beaten by the police. Men who go for protests are forcefully taken by the police and sent to war.

Just a note. This is how a view on russia-Ukrainian relations changed by russian government throughout history starting with russian empire to current times: - little russians. Peter the first renamed country from Muscovia to Rossia so that he could steal Rus' legacy and would be hailed as the right monarch. Ukraine that was called Kyivan Rus' or Ruthenia(by the outsiders) was also called Little Rus'. This way Greek and some other nations were calling true country at its original borders and outside regions that were added to enlarge the influence of it were called Big/Great. Thats how there was Little Greece(the original) and Great/Big Greece(controlled territory). Whether Peter 1 bothered to investigate the subject or not is irrelevant, he changed the meaning of it. - great brother. When USSR was on the raising they referring to Ukrainian as a Great Brother. It was to ensure there won't be any attempts to get out as Lenin believed that without Ukraine there can't be USSR empire. - young brother. It quickly changed after Stalin came to power with a bit different methods of control. And as such the new name appeared. - brotherly nations. This was actually the oldest name it was appearing and disappearing throughout centuries but the most popularity it gained during RF times. - nazi. Current term used by RF.

Now, I _do_ understand that BOTH happened because you were trying to get the video out to us ASAP. So, on balance, it was worth it - THANK YOU 💙💙

I find it interesting that people in Russia, from the people you interview all the way up to Putler, talk about the importance of "territorial integrity". Do they not see the irony of invading another sovereign country. Imperialist Russia cannot be violated but countries like Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia are not worthy of the same consideration?

[@norwegianboyee]

Russia has always had the mindset that to preserve the empire they need to subjugate other people around them. At all times. Maybe that's even why the country has stayed alive despite being so big.

I don't think they understand that they're going to lose. They're not fighting Ukrainians....they are fighting Ukrainians armed with USA weapons. The gap between USA and the rest of the world is too far in this day and age.

Most of opportunities now are state-controlled. Now I employing as Specialist in Studying Department of my alma-mater, but with the mobilization it will be quite easy to find me there. I lost half of what I have invested in stock market just in the February. Isn't it enough? If it is not, than I come to a point that my gf is Ukrainian and lives and Kiev, and had directly suffered from war. She was living in Buchan District, but, hopefully, not in the town or villages, in stand-alone house. That saved her. My friend and familiars are injured or dead, and my main and most profound customers as well! They are dying on both sides and there are no way I can save them. So, living most of my life in electoral authoritarianism as if it is not enough, I also can die soon, or get injured, or get jailed. There are no positive outcome in this war possible.

Hello from Finland. I wish all russians who are anti-war to stay strong. Even though we have long history together, it doesn't define both of us. I believe in russians ability to grow away from apathy and having own thinking. Although Finland very likely will close borders due fear of some russians attempt to bring resources for war efforts and 'letting russians have vacations while people die in Ukraine". If you have heart and know war is not a solution, you definitely will belong in better times of peace.

They are not against the war. They are against to be drafted. They generally don't mind Ukrainians to be killed and children tortured, raped and killed - see lates UN report. They just don't want to be bothered.

[@amygdala308]

What resources can they send to Russia for the war? And I understand not wanting an influx of people into their own country, but on the other hand, they will stay in Russia and be mobilized, although if foreign politicians believe that the Russians will oppose and go to the Kremlin, then fine. Although without a political leader, such a scenario is unlikely. Russians are not used to taking responsibility in their own hands.

[@SokolRock]

It was the stupidest and most harmful decision on the part of Poland, the Baltic States and now Finland to close the borders for people with tourist visas: It was practically the only possible way for dissidents and people who disagree with the Putin regime to escape from the country because you can apply for political asylum only when you are already in the country where you want to hide. The side effect of someone wanting to just go as a tourist is insignificant compared to the humanitarian importance of preserving this corridor of departure.

[@stephanledford9792]

Something that is not addressed often enough is the impact on the soldiers who try to return to civilian life after witnessing the horrors of war, and this war is particularly horrible because of the deliberate targeting of civilians, including women and children who are not a risk to the soldiers. I am in my 70s and witnessed this as soldiers returned from Vietnam, then when I was older, I witnessed this in the USAF itself while I was serving there. I didn't go to Vietnam but saw the negative impact on many (but not all) who did serve there. This will be worse for both Ukraine and Russia - look for the number of divorces and suicides to skyrocket. A significant percentage of the homeless population in the US are veterans who saw combat somewhere.
