I mean it’s the same in America and supposedly we’re an extra precious special country that’s not shitty.
Kinda weird to see (possible American) people try to flex on Russia when America sucks too.

Well, you know the Russian motto fits here:
“And then it got worse…”

Have some empathy. These aren’t oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.

For real. Just because Putin is a Bond villain doesn’t make every citizen of Russia one of his goons.

And? The Russians are the bad guys invading Ukraine. Did you forget that?

The invaders are Russian but most Russians have no real control over their government. It’s easy to suggest “then revolt” when that’s not you.

It is however people that in very high degree support their president.

How does this support manifest? I’m asking, because there are no real signs. Russian army is struggling to find soldiers and Putin is afraid to start another wave of mass-mobilization.
If somebody echoes propaganda, it doesn’t mean that they support anything. There are no actions confirming this support.
There are many more nuances. I suggest reading at least one book on yhe topic of political science and listening to some lectures before coming to conclusions on such a complex matters.

I have a hard time squaring that sentiment with information like this:

The link you attached already mentions that isnt accurate. Not everyone living in Russia will publicly annouce they are against their government even if they are.

The findings, from an October survey of almost 5,000 people, put Russia’s economic woes in sharp focus and could give the authorities a headache in the run-up to March’s presidential election, in which President Vladimir Putin is likely to extend his more than two decades in power.
Record-low unemployment this year is evidence of Russia’s stark labour shortages, while the rouble’s weakness has added to intense inflation pressure.
Interest rates, already at 13%, are expected to rise further to tackle inflation seen ending the year at around 7%, well above the Bank of Russia’s 4% target.
Asked whether their salary was enough to cover basic spending, without taking into account income from second jobs or investments, just one in five Russians surveyed said yes.
The average monthly nominal wage earned by Russians was 71,419 roubles ($756) in July, Rosstat’s statistics show.
Russia could miss its 2024 budget revenue target and be forced to hike business taxes if the rouble proves stronger than expected and optimistic economic assumptions fall short, analysts say.
