I get what you are saying but if people were scared to say what they think the approval rating wouldnt fluctuate so much. Theres no evidence anywhere that russians are turning on ***** on mass, it was a narrative created so people thought if they kept funding the war eventually ***** would be forced out, the same way there were lots of reports springing up about *****s poor health and that he didnt have long to live... its just propaganda essentially, the same way they portrayed navalny (a far right racist extremist) as some hero of the russian resistance when he had 9 percent approval and almost a quarter of the russian population didnt even know who he was
