Have there not been loads of protests outside Ru embassies already?

Oh yeah, there have been, but not by Russians. At best there were some Russians in those protests but not majority and not with the message "we, Russians, do not support this and that".

I've seen protests of German-Russians supporting Russia though.

Not sure if 300 protesters out of 1.2M of Russian diaspora in Germany are enough to change my mind on "not all Russians are the same" issue but it still is something.

What’s the deal with this then? I struggle to believe all Russians, or even most Russians, are pro war. Especially if they’re leaving elsewhere and have access to proper news. Is it a genuine fear of repercussions?
