Until very recently Russians were not blocked from the global information. It was gradually shut down on TV, but people can still read what the rest of the world thinks on the internet, including in Russian language. Yet most people resist exposure to anything conflicting the state's point of view. I personally thought that Russia proved that the total mind control is possible without cutting off alternative points of view and 1984 is exaggeration, but apparently it's not enough in the time of crisis like invasion of Ukraine. Now they have to introduce 15-year prison sentences for telling that the "sky is blue" metaphorically speaking.
