I believe the word my uncle used was 'giddy.'

True. There was a lot of support in Austria.

That was also true in some of the occupied territories of Ukraine. Crimea had a sizeable population in favor of Putin marching in, and in the current conflict I believe a lot of the people of Donetsk feel the same. Or they did initially (not sure how they feel now with all the destruction Russia has wrought).
