Btw, Putin's approval rating is hovering around 30%, so maybe things are a little more complicated than they seem.

Also, I have been living in Moscow for years. It isn't that nationalism doesn't exist in Russia...but it just isn't some special Russian attribute. If anything Ukraine and Russia are very similar but just working from different directions.

I assume that much like other big nations there are some pretty stark regional differences (between city and rural dwellers, for example) that get papered over in an outside observer's attempt to get a sense of what the average Russian thinks.
