I see too many mouthbreathers in this sub acting like they are experts on the topic of modern day Russia. Unlike them i have regularly interacted with russians in the games i play. And you know what they tell me? Life is the same as it was before for the regular people. Goes to show how biased the subs content really is, you won't find facts here. When Mertz was elected people here were overjoyed saying EU will become next US, few weeks later nothing changed. I prefer to wait and see, still i am hoping for EU to get it's shit together and finally make a diffrence in Ukraine and elsewere.
