I share your anger. I try to imagine a world in which RUSSIA overthrows their government and JOINS NATO rather than remaining an international pariah. The enemy in this conflict is Putin’s Kremlin, not Russian citizens, who are mostly innocent victims of the Kremlin’s geopolitical propaganda. I imagine that the more the world piles on ignorant Russian citizens, the more Russian citizens are likely to side with their corrupt government.

Yeah that's a bit of a stretch... Even if let's say.. 40% of the population opped the war it would be over. The vast majority support Putin, the citizens are just as guilty

There is a vast gulf between "oppose the war" and "brave enough to be executed and your family conscripted".

This. People tend to forget that in Russia, the rules of pretty much the ex-Soviet Union apply. You speak ill/stand up against the interests of the state, you still get fucked beyond belief, and your family, too.
It's not just as simple as "you either oppose it and stand up against it, or you are for it".

You've said nothing. There is no anchor to a real world data in anything of what you said.
