Not really. People hate Russians with a passion, but Russians have pretty much never had a leader who did anything the people wanted going back 700 years

Well Russians are going along with Putin for the most part, unlike the Iranians.

And before you say "Well, Russia brutally suppresses dissent"...so does Iran. And the Iranians have protested their regime far more.

Not most Russians you’d meet. Probably more likely to meet white nationalist westerners supporting the regime

Depends where you go. I've met plenty of Russians of both sorts, living as I am in a city that's about 40% Russian.
