Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine has been underway for almost three years. Russia is paying for it not only with tens of thousands of dead and wounded soldiers, but also with massive international sanctions that were supposed to force it to stop the violence in Ukraine. However, the West's economic and political pressure has its limits. Moreover, the Russians don’t seem to  mind Vladimir Putin's reckless policy towards Kiev. Many of them even enthusiastically support it. Why? Are ordinary Russians also becoming monsters who approve of murder, violence and rape?
