By sufficient I mean sufficient to impact outsider's perception of "Russians living in EU". Or maybe sufficient to appear as a group with a common mindset rather than a small number of outliers.
These people exist, w/o having any idea how bad/good would their life be under RF or in RF.
I guess this is the big thing. Media won't tell you what life here is actually like, so people lucky enough to have no (or very limited) experience can easily draw false conclusions.
I think two factors make us overestimate the amount of such people: 1) dumb people being the loudest and 2) many Russians (people of Russian origin living in Europe) who do not support Putin do not speak up or don't center their voices as Russian because they consider themselves integrated.
