hah, an interesting secret for me, a russian citizen in eng-fandom, to read. I wish I had a luxury of thinking it's a troll secret, but AO3 literally got banned in Russia the other day because some ukranian ficwriter didn't like that there are fics in russian and reported it to the russian authorities, who were happy to oblige, so yeah...
I'm kinda glad to know most of the commenters see this secret as a bullshit take, and there are a lot of very good takes mixed with some bad ones in the comments.

don't wanna repeat all the good points ppl already made, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned one tiny fkn detail re:Putin's support. okay, two details.
first, those support ratings are skewed as fuck. there were a lot of rushed lawmaking recently to basically outlaw anyone not showing support to goverment/army/country in public. like, you can post on your blog that war is bad and can be charged and arrested and get either a costly fine that not a lot of ppl can afford or, worst case, 7-10 years in prison. or life in prison for sharing state secrets and the law is very vague what constitutes as a secret so like, for anything really, if they want to. obviously protesting is not safe, but uh, literally saying you're agains Putin in public is also not safe? the social surveys here are super-inaccurate because people are afraid to answer if they don't support war/Putin and just cancel the surveys.
second, russians in fandom are overwhelmingly a) ppl who know english (so they can read non-russian news) b) queer c) women or the mix of it. and you know who is overwhelmingly super against war, and donates to support Ukraine, and writes russian news in english to share, and protests, etc.? russian fandom ppl. like, I have russian fandom friends obviously, and I go to some russian fandom spaces that are still left, and I literally don't see fandom supporting the war. there are ofcource exceptions, like that one artist on twitter (she's a terf tho, so like, expected lol), but other russian fandom peeps would boot them in a heartbeat. we all hate it here and wish we could do more about it, but it is what it is. putting additional pressure on us would only make it more dificult for us to resist the regime and stay sane, because we're already under pressure. we have to live in the dictatorship, go to work and talk with the older coworkers and/or family that doesn't think our country is wrong, and we have to pretend that This Is Fine. to overthrow Putin you would have to put more pressure on the older russians who truly support him, because the young ones are already against him, but there's fewer of us than them. and very few older russians are in fandom. it will do mostly nothing. well, it could screw over some of us with worse mental health, and damage the morale overall, but I'm afraid, even if everyone does what OP wants, russian fandom wouldn't be able to overthrow Putin. sorry.

(was it Ukranian fan though? I've thought it was ff.net being fucking shitheads as always. They managed to throw under the bus some unpopular sites too)

ayrt

nah, it's pretty much confirmed, the girl is vocal on twitter owning what she's done and why.

Ban on AO3 sucks. I still remember the Chinese ban after that actor RPS fic a few years ago.
