      Doesn’t really matter much in a country where only 0.0000000612% of the population have a say in politics.

      That doesn’t say in which favour the war should be ended. Would they accept russian defeat or do they think they could keep their occupied parts of Ukraine or even the entire regions of Ukraine?

        Yeah… I’m guessing a lot of these 81% want the war to be over … with Ukraine’s unconditional surrender.

          It would be illegal for russian people to say they want russia to lose, so a lot of people (and everyone in the poll) just say they want it to be over and the other side can guess which one that was

        It’s not like the state media will honestly report on all the war crimes being committed.
        I’d chalk it down to the majority of that 19% simply not being aware of what is going on Ukraine

          You can probably make a poll is almost any country and find ~20% in favour of a (hypothetical) war they think they are winning 🤷

              For once, I’m in favour of a war.

              Drown the fuckers in their own Kölsch!*

              (That’s a joke. Making people drink Kölsch is a war crime. Besides, you’d probably have to touch it for that.)

              ((That’s also a joke. Kölsch isn’t that bad. It’s a great beer to drink if you’re aiming for quantity over quality.))

              *Beer from Cologne, the word itself basically meaning “Col’nian” as a local dialect version of “Colognian”

          Nah. Many people in Russia have no problem with Putin starting the war, as long as he does it “competently”. They see Putin as a “mastermind” who is “playing the long game”. They are content as long as they can be convinced that Russia is winning (or at least not losing).

          They don’t give a fuck about war crimes or human cost of war if it doesn’t directly affect their own lives.
