Social researchers claim there is a fairly large group of Russians who simultaneously support further offensive actions in the war and peace negotiations. At a recent conference hosted in Moscow by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) on the topic of how Russians are adapting to the “geopolitical changes”, even the sociologists who are loyal to the regime painted a picture of the average Russian as apathetic and above all seeking to maintain a sense of “normality,” which had to be discouraging for the Kremlin.
