In fairness to the Russians they're getting extremely comprehensive propaganda, and we know from the US you don't need such comprehensive and exclusive propaganda to convict a large portion of the populace of non-true statements. I imagine when everything is reporting the lies, and you hear nothing contrary (because people get arrested), its going to be more effective. But it is astounding that people are refusing to believe their own friends & family who are literally being shelled. It truly is depressing just how effective propaganda can be :-/
