Majority of average Russian citizens support their goverment actions against Ukraine. So in my book, they are also responsible.

They do. Now, will installing malware on their computers make them change their mind and support Ukraine instead?

[kbart]

I don't advocate or support such malware instalation. Just saying that "Russian citizens have nothing to do with this war" is false. There are better ways to express your support for Ukraine, for example, make malware targeting only military or govermental institutions that are directly involved.

This sort of logic justifies terrorist's killing of civilians like 9/11. If they can quote your book, the US citizens voted the governments in that oppressed and bombed members of their religion.

kbart doesn't defend the malware creator. He only made a counterargument to the statement that Russians aren't responsible for their government.

Majority of average American citizens support their government's actions against Iraq/Syria/Libya/Vietnam/... . So in my book, they are also responsible.

It may be the case but no one knows for sure. There is no independent sociology in Russia and the state controlled one is a gear in propaganda machine. Also many Russians are afraid to speak what they think and when asked just repeat what they heard on TV even if they don't agree.

> Majority of average Russian citizens support their goverment[sic] actions

That is a pretty bold claim to be made without any supporting evidence.

yes, but the majority of russian citizens don't install node modules. This is hitting a demographics where you have the least possible support for war and regime (which is also not small, but maybe, hopefully, not a majority)
