As one from the West, I have never believed the polls in Russia. I am concerned that there is an upswing in approval even in bogus polls. I attribute it to 'circling of the wagons' once the Putin regime comes under attack world wide. So I'm not very concerned about it. But I am amazed at those that take a combative stance in support of leadership. Those speaking in support may do so under threat of prison. But there are some that seem to be very supportive & wish death to those that oppose it. Here in the US we don't believe anything (except what we want to believe) said in the news. So it seems like a foreign concept to us. There would have been about a dozen conspiracy theories if our President would have gotten involved in something like this. And huge rallies against & countless calls for the leaders to step down. There are some ugly stereotypes being formed about the Russian race right now. And it isn't just the jokes about the Russian Military being a totally inept. But I won't go into all that. It is a very small group of people right now. But I know more people are thinking about it.
