      Makes me highly skeptical of any reports that say most Russians accept, believe & support Kremlin story that it’s a humanitarian denazification operation in Ukraine. Under these circumstances we do not know Russian public opinion one way or the other.https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status/1500458582902460420 …

      Police officers in Moscow today are stopping people, demanding to see their phones, READING THEIR MESSAGES, and refusing to release them if they refuse. This from Kommersant journalist Ana Vasilyeva. https://t.me/Crexcrexcrex/3059 … pic.twitter.com/rxk7AmdzOp

      This is not the behavior of a Kremlin and security apparatus that believes Russian public opinion is with them.

      Exactly, I've been fairly skeptical that this war is *that* unpopular in Russia. But the actions of the state suggest they think it is.

      The fact that the recent wave of propaganda showing flag waving youth chanting Putin's name also often feature denunciation of the anti-war movement makes me think that Putin is in fact worried about the war is unpopular. Or at least has little buy-in from public.

          I suspect part of the issue is that in a climate of intense repression the state doesn't really know public opinion either.

          In a real sense, public opinion doesn't exist in an authoritarian regime, not like it does in a democracy. It's a black box. And Putin's paranoid so he'll fear the worst. Hence the crackdown and the goonish videos like this.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1500361732753080323 …

          This is some pretty naked cult authoritarianism, created explicitly in response to the anti-war protests. The reactive nature is interesting. https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status/1500231126606098434 … pic.twitter.com/iunAbW84oI

          This is standard propaganda and it’s hard to read that much into it either way. Putin has always concerned himself with public opinion and worked to guide it

          Putin has knowledge re the RU body count that the Russian people will soon start to piece together- a lurking shadow of the war in Afghanistan.
