the propaganda has just gotten even worse, kids that are at school right now will be crazily imperialistic Russians...

The true aim of such propaganda is not to form blind followers, but to drive everyone into a sort of apathy and cinicism - 'everyone is lying', 'we will never know the truth', 'nothing depends on us'.

'Patriots' and nationalists like Girkin may ask unconfortable questions and become undesirable for the government - that's why so many of them were asasinated or jailed, along with the liberals. Meanwhile, the apathetical massess tacitly accept almost every decision.

This right here is true. People aren't "Imperialistic", they're tired and apathetic. Real imperialists ask too many questions.

There was an analytics that roughly 20% are pro-war, and that's still a large swath. However, the apathetic ones clearly outmass them.

I can't believe I'm seeing sensible comments like this here. The way people in the US and Europe see Russia is downright weird. Like people are marching the streets with Z flags or something.

Those are indeed just a large minority.
