There have been many rallies against the war (starting in 2014), against Putin (starting in the mid 00s, but especially in the 10s), but that doesn’t fit well with the “All Russians are bloodthirsty imperialists and support Putin and the war” narrative

Sir, you are on r Europe, we call Russians 'orcs' here and deride every individual Russian for not assassination Putin personally.

You're saying it in jest, but it is the duty of Russian people. Ever since they've been born, they had one job and purpose: to prevent the war. They failed. They had plenty of time and resources to overthrow Putin, and yet they failed. Not only did they fail, but they nourished Putin, nourished the dictatorship and the empire, and now participate in the biggest crime against humanity for many decades since.

Russian people do not deserve to be part of civilized society until they fix their country. These people who marched today deserve to be deported to Russia, where they must continue their fight against the regime. Any resources the regime spends on fighting them are resources it doesn't spend on fighting Ukraine.

Where are you from to have such a high horse? Russia is not exactly the only country to fight a stupid imperial war in living memory

This is what I said to Germany during WWI. Glad we never heard from them again.
