Russian opposition activists, who were released on Thursday as part of a historic prisoner exchange, are calling on the world to distinguish between the Russian people and its president.
“Don’t believe the lies spread by Kremlin propaganda,” says freed Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza.
This is why Russophobia is dumb. They can hardly organise in diaspora because people become sceptical and paranoid, in effect helping Putin to cut off the oxygen of any dissent movement.
You should help Russians in your town or city. You should help them organise, get funding and to basically form a clear Russian identity outside the Russian nationalist propaganda engine.
This is not only important, but crucial to save Ukraine, because pressure must be applied - on both sides of the border.
Well said, not every Russian is a Vatnik.
I’ve never met a Russian who was not vehemently against Putin. I know only three Russians. They don’t know each other and they are very different people, but they share an anti putin ideaology.
