What do Russians think 2 months after the "special military operation"? (posted April 23)

[Bucky]

this "What Russians think now" video is a series of "average Joe" interviews on the streets of Petersburg, which is a relatively western-looking part of Russia (a Russian friend once told me St Petersburg is their Manhattan while Moscow is their Detroit).

I'm intrigued both by how many people cautiously distanced themselves from the invasion, most declared themselves as apolitical, and how a brave few said on-camera how they thought it was a bad or pointless military operation.

This vid couples nicely with this previous survey of Muscovites reacting to the news of Finland joining NATO

1. I've been watching a lot of the 1420 vids They are very informative

I find it interesting the responses he gets. I find some very funny and some very sad.


There is also by a Ukrainian OrestbZub, you'll have to search for him. He drives around and reports on what is happening in various cities.
