I didn't think much before the war in Ukraine, but it's negative these days. If many Russians were against Putin, would he be able to retain his presidency?

We don't treat them badly, but not many Koreans like Russians especially after their invasion of Ukraine. I think of Russians as those who're from a dictatorship with strict media control.

Korea was also a dictatorship in the past, but it was democratized by the resistance of the people. If the vast majority of Russians really veto Putin, why can't they bring him down with protests?

Originally, Koreans' thoughts about Russians were not bad.
Things like internet memes, mainly about Russia, were famous.
(Russian riding a bear, drinking vodka instead of water, taking a shower with ice water in minus 50 degrees Celsius...etc)
It's not about the 'Russian,' but there was also this meme.
Due to its geographical characteristics, Korea was damaged by fine dust and yellow dust from inland China and the Gobi Desert.
But in winter, the cold, powerful wind from Siberia blew away all the bad things, and Koreans could breathe clean air.
I don't know what you think, but we also called 'Mother Russia'.(Of course, just for fun)
But many things are changing because of this war... Maybe you know that.
I used to like Russia quite a lot.
I have Russian friends, I am interested in Russian culture, and I have studied Russian.
But even I'm starting to think negatively little by little. It's sad.

@naaneewaa Ummm..... even though you said that no Russians wanted the war, I've seen many Russian people who strongly support the invasion online. But they don't seem to know what exactly is happening in Ukraine and how Russians are seen by other countries. I was shocked by their way of thinking.

@naaneewaa This link shows that Putin's approval rating has become even higher after the invasion of Ukraine: 83%!!!!
I know this is none of my business but it's just so hard to understand that the Russian people are supporting the dictator even more than before the invasion.

We don't dislike ordinary Russian people but honestly the perception of Russia and Putin is not good among Koreans.
