    Rather, there are too many indifferent and/or supporters so no doubts that protests will be suppressed.

    On the other hand, Russians show off a lot but when time comes to action they behave like pussies. Protests like „Let’s all be friends. War is bad”. What a joke. Look how brutal are French protests.

      That’s due to decades of totalitarian terror which conditioned the populace to obey blindly. TBH, having grown up under Communist regime, I still sometimes notice in myself the remnants of deep fear of the state. This is a multi-generational trauma. Fortunately here in Ukraine we also have ancient democratic traditions.
