That is good to hear. Let’s assume this observation is true and it is caused by their exposure to the internet. Does it help with their democracy?
One can get thrown into a prison for more than a decade for just calling the current war a war. Political opposition is inprisoned on trumped up charges or poisoned or both!
How is a skeptic population going to help with any of these?

If smart people have a harder time living in a country that ignores them, they move to a place that suits their sensibilities and desire for a better future. Nobody is trying to get into Russia at this point.
