> data source available, Danil Orain, youtuber interviews people on Russian streets

You have never thought that it is completely unrepresentative data source considering that they literally have chances to go in jail for the "wrong" answers on the street interviews?

I do know that there are stiff penalties in Russia. (Ranging from official court stuff, to beatings and rape using bottles)

And yes I know that this is far from statistically sound way of gathering data.

But it is quite illustrative.

You can see in interviews some people say: I do not want to comment on this (I guess 90% due to being afraid of those penalties due to disagreement)

Some speak very (incomprehensibly) bravely and strongly against the war.

Others choose words like: we should just use nuclear weapons.

Btw different episodes come from different places, somewhat showing different demographics.
