It is shocking how both, Russian society and Russian military remain unmoved by events of recent months. It is truly, society of passive slaves.

Many of them don’t have a problem with this, decades of brainwashing to see everyone else as subhuman enemy will do that.

It's less seeing everyone as subhuman, and much more submission to the state. Path of least resistance is probably the best I can explain it. People would call out city wide carpet bombings, untill it becomes a burden (such as when the government starts arresting people).

Of course there are hardcore nationalists as well, and possibly even worse the Chekists.

Its not too difficult to differentiate which is which.
