It wouldn't work. Firstly if brainwashed Russian feels his faith in propagada is shaking he takes a double dose of propagada to feel better. To wake up from propagada is a extremly painful experience, because you are no more a good guy. I went through this eight years ago, I know. Skinner called this 'conditioning': if you felt better from propaganda then you would seek propaganda again. They were conditioned for 10+ years. I saw it recently twice with two different people. I managed to make them to stop arguing and to think. I saw them thinking. But the next day they were even more partisan pro-war jerks than before. And second. "If not Putin then who?" Putin got rid of anyone who might be his successor. And then propaganda used the slogan to consolidate everyone around Putin. So "dismantle your leadership" wouldn't work. The last possible successor (as propaganda painted him) was Navalny. He is in a prison and propaganda did everything it could to drown him in a shit. People believe that if not Putin then Navalny, and they do not like Navalny. The first necessary step to deal with an addiction is to stop abusing drugs or whatever causes it. Reportedly a few weeks without propaganda undo the worst of the brainwashing, and it becomes possible to talk with him/her rationally. Eight years ago I spent a month reading Ukrainian media 20 min per day (while continuing to consume Russian propaganda) to undo the worst, and half a year more to become mostly sane. But I sought truth and consciously pushed myself to an emotional pain, because truth is sacred. Most people do not feel that they are morally obliged to seek truth. While Putin brainwashes Russians they will remain brainwashed. They use propaganda as an antidote to truth, because truth is painful. People are afraid, they would believe anything to be less afraid. I asked my mother what might be so bad if NATO conquered us. It would be no more Putin, wouldn't it be nice? She said that they would kill all Russians. ...
