Polling data indicates that 60% of Russians would reject peace for territory return, revealing an ingrained belief in aggression as part of Russia's destiny.
Many Russians see invading to seize land and subjugate others as non-problematic, indicating a deeply rooted mindset of exceptionalism and entitlement in national identity.
The Kremlin's power relies on the social contract that absolves the Russian populace of accountability for the regime's actions, challenging the notion of civic responsibility.
