It seems I'm starting to understand. You're one of those who think that everything in Russia is bad and the people are suffering under their ruler? Believe me, Russians will experience great sorrow and fear when someone else replaces Putin. As a ruler, you’re unlikely to find such a successful candidate. Look at how Russia has risen economically under his leadership, how the standard of living for Russians has improved, the minimum wages... You live in some kind of information bubble.

Even I, as a Ukrainian, would vote for him, so why do you doubt that his own people would want something different? Unlike Ukrainians, dissatisfied Russians have the opportunity to leave their country, but I do not. I am wanted, and according to Zelensky, I am supposed to die fighting Putin, who has never personally wished me any harm!
