Ukraine war: Why so many Russians turn a blind eye to the conflict

In the weeks leading up to Russia's invasion, I would walk for hours in the central Moscow district of Zamoskvorechiye, where I had lived and worked in the BBC office for seven years.An unspoiled and peaceful part of the city, for me it embodies Russia's complex present and past.For centuries Muscovites have come here to build homes and businesses and get on quietly with their lives, leaving their rulers to pursue greater ambitions on a bigger stage where ordinary Russians have never had a part to play.It is bordered by the Moskva river and the Kremlin on one side, and on the other by imposing Stalinist apartment buildings and 21st Century skyscrapers on the noisy Sadovoye ring road.A maze of narrow streets echo the past, dotted with churches and aristocratic mansions from the 19th Century. Bolshaya Ordinka street takes its name from Tartar-Mongol rule, hundreds of years before, when emissaries would come to collect tributes from Moscow's princely leaders. สล็อตยูฟ่า777
