Though I don’t doubt many do, it’s important to remember that it’s more or less illegal to not support the war. Not an excuse, but a reason.
It's the reason why some russians (not that many) have left the country and some (very few) tried protesting.
After three years of war, though, those joining the army, those working in factories producing shahed drones or other weapons, those supporting the army indirectly, they actually support the war.
Yes, it's all the result of propaganda, but they do believe the official line, they do think that they're trying to liberate.
So while it's illegal to be against war there, very few are breaking that even in their heads. And when we hear "x% of ruzzians want peace", it only means that they want the victory rather sooner, because their life is somewhat uncomfortable.
I guess this song is still relevant then: Super Good · Сергей Шнуров
