The crowd chants "Putin is a murderer!" - Russian media.
“Putin killed him, but didn’t break him,” - this is the poster hung on a tree on Borisovskie Prudy Street
“Bring the soldiers home!”, “Ukrainians are good people,” chant those gathered at the Borisov cemetery
People also turned on flashlights in memory of Navalny.

The vast majority of Russians support the war and Putin.
The vast majority of Russians respond to polls saying they support the war and Putin. The actual margin is much more thin. But unfortunately there are still many many Russians who support the war.
Edit: here's a video explaining the phenomenon https://youtu.be/WrO5-fXTbYs

The two fundamental of Russian thinking.
1, Suffering is inescapable, and must be accepted.
2, A strongman leader is always best, even if he does terrible things to us.
These beliefs have been a constant throughout one thousand years of Russian history
Sure, not every Russian agrees with those beliefs, but the number of those who don't, are so small, as to be effectively zero.
@JohnDClay Not 'many.' Most.
Where are you getting that? Polls as I said aren't a great indicator since people are afraid.
@JohnDClay
I am a fluent Russian speaker with a degree in Politics and lived in Russia for years.
Nobody takes the polls seriously. Neither inside nor outside Russia
I get my information from reliable sources in Russia, with whom I am in daily contact.
Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and assume you’re actually a Russian propagandist, so enjoy the blocklist comrade.
А мои доверенные источники сказали мне, что твои доверенные источники — говно ;)
