Vladimir Putin is a war criminal who must either be destroyed or convicted by a tribunal. Even some Russians who understand the level of his fascism are aware of this.
Most people in Russia simply do not care – they do not have any position of their own, and many blame Ukraine and everyone in the world for everything. About it on air Channel 24said Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko.
“Putin's Russians”
The last part of the Russian population perceives the deterioration of their own lives not as a result of the war unleashed by their state, but as if everything “from -for bad Ukraine and the West”.
This is a special story, this is what is called the anthropological type “Putin's man”. As there was once a Soviet man, now, in 23 years, a “Putin man” has been formed, – says the journalist.
According to him, such a person is deprived of a rational way of perceiving reality, he is completely captive to the TV. This type requires a separate study.
“Yes, that's exactly what they think. Over the 14 years of the Reich's existence, a separate “breed” of Germans was bred. These are people who really believed that it was the Jews who were to blame for everything, so you need destroy them,” Igor Yakovenko compared.

How to “treat ” Putin's Russians
According to the Russian oppositionist, there is only one way to cure such Russians – a severe military defeat. There is no other way, they say.
This is also known from history. I prefer action – I try to convince at least someone. Sometimes it succeeds. A little, unfortunately, but they succeed, – the journalist admitted.
The attitude of Russians to the war:
- Most Russian oppositionists often claim that a significant part of Russians have a negative attitude towards the war. True, such statements are at least exaggerated.
- In April of this year, that is, two months after the start of a full-scale war, a poll by the opposition Levada Center showed that 74% of Russians positively relate to the war against Ukraine. Only 19% is negative.
- However, it would be fair to say that during the hostilities the indicator of their support in Russia is constantly decreasing. This, in particular, was confirmed by NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov.
