What do russians actually think of him?


What is it like living in a country where you can be killed just for saying mean things to Putin?

Are there any russians here? I never know who those people are who post pro-russia messages. Sometimes I think they are russians on payload. Sometimes I think they are crazy trumpists. Sometimes I think they are delusional conspiracy theorists.

I think that majority of russians dont care about him. They are so submissive and such psychopaths that they dont care about anything. They just float in the river.

Those vatniks and imperialists that are obsessed with war respected him I guess. Because for them putin is a loser and is not doing enough to destroy Ukraine. Like that girking clown. And all russians know about corruption in russia and that putin is huilo. So for some of them prigozhin was like a "honest man who told the truth and wanted to kick out corrupt shoigu and stupid generals". Those supported him in his coup and wanted to go to the end.

Now, that he is dead, russians.... will just forget about him like he never existed. They are that much in apathy to everything. Literally. They just live day by day and do and think what TV propaganda is telling them to think. TV will ignore his existence and so will they. They will all mute him so to speak.

Just saying mean things? He seized government buildings, marched his private army to Moscow and shot down multiple Russian air force helicopters and a plane.

(also generally tortured thousands of people on both sides and committed a multitude of other warcrimes, but I guess that's less relevant for Putin)

Of course other people are getting killed for just saying mean things about Putin, but not this guy.

Doesn’t Putin have 80% approval or something crazy like that? Prigozin probably has low favorables
