This is irrelevant. Death of their fellow citizen is not of interest to russians (beyond polemics and fetishizing WW2). Stalin killed more russians than Hitler and yet most russian think his rule was justified.

10 million russians could be killed by their own government and the average russian would not care. They would never do anything about it, but million plus have, out of their own free will, joined a war of imperial conquest to kill, rape and torture.

A strong majority (if not an overwhelming majority) do not value human life. I am not saying there is anything inherent about russians that makes it so. They are fully capably of change, humanism, democratic governance, however, the choices they make clearly suggest they have no interest in such matters. And we have to take a sober attitude towards russians, treat them as they are and not as we think they are or how we want them to be.
