I’m Russian, am I the problem? We need @dang here to address this racism here.

Unless the outcome of elections in Russia is completely controlled by Putin, people do carry responsibility for their government's policies to some degree.

An extremely minor degree.

I had to discuss for months with a mate, who insisted proposing that "Bolsonaro [would be] responsible for the actions of Lula, and Lula [would be] responsible for the actions of Bolsonaro" (actually much worse). And this is just a formulation that should show a paradox; other complexities exist that in the proposed idea of "responsibility" are overridden.
