Yes, ordinary Russians typically are good people. People everywhere are generally good people. One random nobody in Japan doesn’t change that. Dehumanizing them really doesn’t accomplish anything.
We can give Russia a path back to normalcy and acceptance, but that will be along road. Actions speak louder than words. We need to see a Russia that is contrite, will keep its treaties, will hand over war criminals, will pay reparations, will return to 2014 borders, will become truly democratic and squash corruption.
It will be a long road from here to there, but that path has always been available to Russia to just be a country of good faith.
Left alone that rhetoric about how good or bad ordinary people of some nation are is quite fascist in itself, consider mother who loves her child who committed a murder. Is she good or bad? The practical outcome of such profound moral discussion is that it turns your attention away from the murderer, the crime, and the victim.
Murza seems to have changed his tune after prison. Who knows what happened to him there, but I bet nothing great.
There is imperialistic consensus in russian society. Russian opposition is anti-putin but not anti-imperialistic, they just can’t say it out loud.
The russians can start on that long path of redemption right now by storming the kremlin and putting putler in handcuffs and on a plane to The Hague. Until then F them.
Fuck no, you don’t get to wage a war in comfort.
this idea that Russia can change while Russian society remains the same is very bizarre to me, it is so obviously wrong.
and why would Russian society change when nothing is ever their fault?
this guy obviously isn’t a bad guy, but with this idea he is 100% spinning a vicious circle instead of trying to break it. Very naive attitude.
