95.1 Russian opposition can’t be trusted
Russia has a tradition of “managed” opposition …
95.2 is supporting russian imperialism
Most Russians support peace talks but reject return of Crimea, and that is more or less the position of russian opposition as well1. See for example Chapter 85.
95.3 absolves the Russian people
There are many people in Russia who are against the war, who don’t believe Kremlin propaganda Kara-Murza, February 8 20024
