In the end, your arguments in this thread always come back to “well, they did it too” or “they deserved it”.
I hope one day Russia and Russians find a way to contribute hope to the world, instead of sad and pointless destruction.

That would be a noble expectation, but you could predict that it will not be uphold. Maybe because it is not possible in practice, or at least highly implausible.
Russans, in general, are people. People go to war when told to do so by their superiors. People rationalize what happens in the moment, to reflect on it and be outraged later.
If you were doing that in a good faith, good for you, but as you can see that's not how the world works.
More Germans opposed Nazism than Russians oppose Putinism.
"It has been estimated that during the course of World War II 800,000 Germans were arrested by the Gestapo for resistance activities. It has also been estimated that between 15,000 and 77,000 of the Germans were executed by the Nazis."
Nothing comparable exists in Russia. You like Putin more than Germans liked Hitler.
Actually many do not.

They absolutely do not if they want to be considered of good moral character.
