what their opinion of Putin was. Most said they wanted a new president since he had been the only president that they could remember. Also, they all said they wouldn't want the job since it is too difficult to please all Russians and they didn't want the responsibility. Most of them laughed when they used the words "special operation" and rolled their eyes since they knew it was BS.
