I would call it an information freedom asymmetry. Russian current regime has thigh control over the media and social media in Russia. In addition they own many international openly Russian owned or covert Russian owned media channels that are presented in Russia as an Western media channels. As a result, Russians living in Russia and also many Russians abroad (based on my personal observations) have completely distorted understanding of the reality (compared to the Western people). You can imagine this as mentality of the Russian people is living in the heavily protected castle while mentalities Western people are living openly in the field near the castle. This situation currently allows Russian government to mount an attacks from this stronghold while leaving people inside it mostly inaffected. Naturally the situation like this is not inescapable and stories like this are good start to raise the awareness and help people to be prepared.
