>> russians know that what is happening is a war, but they are not allowed to call a spade a spade. and no, russians do not want war. here is the thing. and i think that i wrote this in a different piece for the nation. i think it was called we are the future, we do not want your war. we were taught that war is bad. the ussr bore such horrible categories in world war ii, we were always told that war is horrible and evil. and yet somehow putin's government went through with the check-in wars. and attempted annexation of georgia. and the list goes on, right? so, to me it's kind of like so hypocritical. and people, especially of my generation, know that it is hypocritical. i think it would be very hard to find a young russian my age who supports this invasion, who supports the war. it is much harder with the older generations, that will, because a lot of them have been exposed to russian television
