I don't think this is generally true, there are already dissenting voices quite high up in the Russian government hierarchy. The full-scale aggression against the whole of Ukraine seems to have caught many high-ranking government and military officials by surprise. The decision was made in the Kremlin. Of course, it is unlikely that these people will take huge personal risks to rectify the situation, so it doesn't make too much of a difference in the short term. But I thought it's worth mentioning.

Yes, but they don't have any power, until someone actually stands up it is Putin that is in charge, and if someone does stand up it will still be a very iffy outcome, chances are that that person would be dead in 24 hours. Watch the inner circle security council meeting in Russia for some idea of how afraid everybody is of him.
