    This is nothing new. This comic was made somewhere around 2014 I believe. Everyone that has had to actually deal with russians in any capacity before already knew this. It is just the way they are. They always lie to get what they want without thinking about it twice.

    lots and lots of videos or russian POW's taken and dead russians.

    Rumors are Lyman is a shitshow, Russians have no vehicles so are making pure infantry battalions and getting meat grindered.

    A lot of those fleeing Russia aren't opposed to the war and are still racist imperialists, they just don't want to take part personally.

    Yeah no surprise there. Close the EU borders to them. Completely. No asylum seekers either. Fuck 'em.

    I want to have some semblance of sympathy, because hoping for men to die at the whims of some dictator against their will leaves a poor taste in my mouth.

    But holy shit are some of these people making things very difficult. Seem entirely on board with their attempted genocide in Ukraine up until the point it affects them personally, then continue to act like imperialistic dipshits anyway.

    New word from the Kremlin is that they heard people don't like partial mobilization, so they are going to give you partial martial law so you can partially mobilize without fleeing the country.

    Eh...I bet that'll go down even better, I believe "spiralling out of control" might apply here.

    The Dagestanis, at least, are showing some resistance to what is going on, but they have already suffered losses way out of proportion to their size, being an ethnic minority used as cannon fodder.

Masses there are literally taught it was Russia and Russia alone that defeated Nazi Germany and that Western Front didn't even exist. NATO is their enemy, every sanction is unjustified, everyone else loves them, Russia superior slav nation that should control all the others. And now they are getting a reality check.
    Heh, I think that's two sides of the same coin. All you wrote is true about the propaganda and the superiority complex. However, I think it coexists with a strong sense of passiveness towards the Russian rulers, as if being treated like shit was the common norm. We've seen very little resistance to the forced conscription the last few days and more broadly since the start of the current war. There's not a giant uproar but scarce and individual resistances. Barely anything happened against a retarded decision that will send thousands of people to their death, except people fleeing.

    I'd even argue that people are being sent to their inevitable demise without a massive uproar because they are being spoonfed with propaganda since their cradle (and they have eaten it willingly too).

    Dunno about that. Sure, many less intelligent/obedient units will go, but the massive border rush shows that they are not really that passive nor misinformed.

    Meanwhile and probably unrelated:

    A gunman has opened fire at a school in the city of Izhevsk (Russia), killing at least six people and injuring twenty, Russian officials say.

    Why do I feel like the Russians will discover it was a 'Ukrainian' who did it.

    It's not impossible, but it's a bit far away from the border to easily claim it.

    They claimed that Dugina was killed by some lady mind controlled by Ukrainians. They can, and will, claim literally anything.

    Propaganda Tv is 100% going to blame it on Ukranine neo nazi terrorists + something else.
