#2In that context, we should have a better word for 'Putin's Russians' urgently.
Many Russians aren't associated with Putin and are trying to fight it risking jail and their future.

> Vatnik or vatnyk (Russian: ватник) is a political slur,[1][2] used in Russia and other post-Soviet states based on an internet meme that was introduced in 2011 by Anton Chadskiy, which denotes a steadfast jingoistic follower of propaganda from the Russian government.[3]

Would informing them change broad public opinion?
