    Is that 80% approval rating believable?

    If 80% truly do approve, is it because they are “bad” or brainwashed with little to no choice?

    Idk what the solution is either way though.

      I think Russians justike being controlled with an iron fist. No other explanation why they seem to always go they way.

        I think it’s more like they don’t and can’t care. It’s probably the same situation as in Hungary, where Orbán basically micromanages 90% of the news sources the average citizen gets to access, so they of course overwhelmingly approve him and “his valiant fight against the evils surrounding the noble Hungarian nation”.
