@ntnnot I live very close to Finland. If you think people in Moscow are bad, you should look at people in Vyborg and other towns around Saint Petersburg. I was in mental hospital in Roshchino in 2014 just when the Crimean situation was going on. And that was a section for neurotic people so we were all supposed to be rather adequate but I can tell you most believed propaganda 100%, one woman only slightly older, she was 24, thought Solovyov was a very good TV host 🤣🤣🤣 and second time I was in hospital, in Vyborg for small surgery, years later, the people around me were just the same. There was a TV and they believed the propaganda about how "poor Russian sportsmen are suppressed by international organisations".
Negative selection. The smarter people leave for big cities, cause life there is better, and smarter among them leave for other countries. And people in most of the places are just brainwashed by propaganda everywhere and all the time. Putinism totally destroyed anything good in Russia, starting with any industry which doesn't involve making oligarchs rich, and ending with people's common sense

Victory will be Ukrainian. They get "education" to only get away from the army in 50% of cases. That is why 70%+ Russians have higher education. I can say from experience most people got it only because they believed that it was needed anyway, even if they want to work a job that doesn't require any, or only to get away from the army, or for some other reason like that. People who like me wanted to get a particular profession and decided to get higher education for that reason, were never the majority. And now it should be even worse.
Also education quality in most pronvincial universities is very low anyway.
Plus even if you get high education and it is good, in Russia that never increased your salary. I have a master's degree and I am a juniour researcher, and my income is barely covering my expenses, and probably only because I have savings from the time when I lived in a cheap dormitory, and didn't yet rent a flat, and because my mom sends me money from time to time. Without that, I wouldn't even be able to live in Saint Petersburg on such income. Cashiers in supermarkets earn more
