The “Muscovites”?
Russians, without any double meanings that Russian sympathizers could jump in and say “aha, racists!” or “aha, russophobes!” over.
Muscovites means people from Moscow.
The two places in Russia that aren’t pro-Ukrainian war, are Moscow and St Petersburg.
Putins powerbase is sort of the equivalent to Trump or Erdogan. The people in the larger cities don’t like him, but the rural areas love him.
He is a Russophobe. Report him.

If you are a proud anti-imperialist Marxist, I am Karl Marx and strip you of your Marxist label right now. You are a weasel and a grifter, and a useful idiot of genocidal Anglo empire.
In a few days you weasels will experience horror, if you think this is too much. And your brain will either be dewormed or you get contained in some obscure Lemmy instance, or go back to Reddit, the CIA hometown.

Pretty sure that describes pretty much the entire planet now.
The entire planet according to dronies.![](https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/81c11571-e841-48a4-b4de-df4830ebf3b7.webp)
Anglosphere != the whole world. Anglosphere is like 10-12% of the world’s population controlling 85-90% of the world’s news media.
Wrong, the world stands with Russia. You’re in a bubble.
