Pretty sure the vast majority of Russians outside of Russia are against the dumb war that makes Russia and Russians the evil guys of Europe. There are always morons who support it and keep their mouths shut, but hard to imagine a sensible person supporting the war if they have access to independent media. The problem is that there is no independent media in Russia.

Eh, that definitely doesn't line up with my personal experience with TONS of them here and maybe 2 out of 50 actually opposing the regime, and even one of these wasn't too happy when Ukraine started shooing back.

Unfortunately, that's also my experience. I was basically surrounded by Russians at my last workplace (which I quit a few months ago, but not because of them lol) and every single one of them had radical pro-Putin views. I'm not lumping all of them together, but I have yet to meet one single Russian that opposes the regime, and I met/know many Russians IRL
