I speak Russian and have been following news from Russia knowing most of is propaganda, but really wanting to know what people think. I've found comments on YouTube to be a good indicator of public opinion, and I'm unhappy to see you confirming much of what I already suspected.

I'm a Russophile. I love much about Russian culture and the Russian people, but I'm so saddened, devastated really, by what the Russian state is doing right now.
