The illusion of “good Russians”: why their support is unlikely?

The illusion of good Russians: why their support is unlikely? Ukraine in Flames #655

Russia’s genocidal war against Ukraine would be a real existential test for any state, but the Ukrainian people did not break. At the same time, the Russian people almost entirely support the actions of their criminal regime in the Kremlin.

The Russian information strategy is aimed at the maximum popularization of everything Russian because this is used as an additional leverage in the future. The so-called “good Russians” and opponents of the Putin regime occupy an essential niche in this popularization.

These Russians have not abandoned the imperial ambitions of the Russian Federation, and despite their oppositional attitude to their government, they often express aggressive and favourable opinions for Moscow. Therefore, it is essential to watch the “good Russians” very carefully and not allow them to take too active a position in the information field of Ukraine’s partner countries.


UKRAINE IN FLAMES project is created by Ukraine Crisis Media Center and NGO “Euroatlantic Course”. We are aiming at searching a loud support for Ukraine in the war started by Russia on the 24th of February 2022.
