Is It Putin's War, Russians War?

I think one of the reasons that people are so willing to say that maybe this is a war of, it's not Putin's wars, Russians war and the Russians are acquiescing to it is that there really isn't very much grassroots and popular opposition to the war in Russia. And you have a particularly interesting perspective I think because you obviously grew up during the Soviet occupation of Lithuania. You talk about how even Lithuanians didn't hold mass rallies against the Soviet Union against Soviet rule until Paris- or until what can you just talk a little bit about your experience of growing up under authoritarian or totalitarian system?
