I wouldn’t be too sure. I suspect that the Russians are going to find that this isn’t going to be as easy as they think. Their historic cruelties to their neighbors are going to be seen through a different set of eyes than those who see Putin as a swell guy. For the neighbors of Russia, Putin’s cruelty and chauvinism are all too familiar.

Clearly, invading westerners did not ingratiate themselves to the local population with their brutalities for the brief periods they stuck around in the Ukraine either.
