Russia will never admit to the facts of their actions. In the information age, EVERYONE knows about them. I'm not sure I can ever move on and will always harbor negative feelings toward Russia and Russians.
I just can't believe what we are seeing in 2022. Despicable.

It would take removing Putin from office and then totally disowning everything he did. If you look at places like post-fascist Spain/France, a lot of the way the people are perceived afterwards has how to do with how the population reacts to the leader.
For the record, I don't see the Russian people disowning Putin. They'll probably go all in and put up some kind of shrine or rename a major city after him.
