That's easy to say for people on the outside. Russians who want change can influence one another, build up awareness, but standing in front of tanks will just most likely lead to pulverization

and it's not like russians are strangers to popular uprising, but the trauma of the fall of the soviet empire has a poisonous influence not just on the old generations

Yes I realize it would be hard for them. But who else on the planet has a better chance?

The reality is that everyone is paying these sanction costs. Europe and US companies too. Even poor people in Morocco will pay the costs in the form of increased food costs or food scarcity.

Russians seem to want a get out of jail for free card, but that would not be fair at all.
