There's a saying in Russia, or rather a hope some opposition figures voiced, that one day "the fridge will beat the TV", i.e. the economic mismanagement and poor living conditions (the empty fridge) will overpower the TV (full of propaganda) and the people will become disillusioned with powers that be. Alas, so far it has never happened in Russia (the closest was probably 2011) - there's usually just enough money from the exports and more than enough propaganda.
There's hope that the current situation will end when it becomes dire for millions of newly unemployed and bankrupt, and the fridge will too defeat the lockdown insanity.
