Leaked Kremlin poll shows 55% of Russians want to see negotiations with Ukraine to end the war

Not everything with Russia is some kind of 4D chess. While there is a lot of that, I think the leaked poll is exactly that, a leaked poll, and the results are probably people's genuine answers because believe it or not, it's legal for people to have opinions in Russia. I think a lot of redditors have a warped idea of what everyday life is like, like you'd get sent to a gulag for having an opinion.

Certain things are illegal, like calling this war a war instead of special military operation or directly criticising the military. But there's definitely no problem with saying something like "i think negotiations would be good" or "it would be good for the war to end"
