Re: Your average person in the Russian street
You just hope so. But I've watched people in Ukraine reporting their relatives in Russia don't believe them about what's going on, relying instead on what Russian state media (as non-state has all but been banished) blurts, like a random guy telling his mum about how he's enlisted and actively fighting the invaders and she'd reply that he should just keep safe until Russian troops get there and 'save' him...
