It isn’t “fuck the [imperialist/authoritarian nation] government and its enforcers” for most people?
Russia isn't imperialist. Imperialism isn't when invasion or when big country is bad
Authoritarian is a useless pejorative as every nation that has been or currently is is "authoritarian".
That's a laugh. Putin and his political machine have expressed a desire to return to the days of the Russian Empire and has engaged in acts of conquest to that effect.
Russia is a mirror image of the US. While Anglo-Saxons were pushing west across North America, conquering indigenous peoples, Russians were pushing east out of Europe into Asia conquering indigenous peoples. They're both dysfunctional countries with dysfunctional world views.
Show me. Pull up a shred of evidence for this obvious propaganda. Show me Vladmir Putin expressing the desire to reform the pre-1917 Russian Empire.
