Some will always distrust what the gov tells them. Most, like folks here, are not really sure what to believe. They know the gov lies to them sometimes. At the same time, they know the West cannot always be trusted. They trudge off to their boring jobs to make a living, buy groceries, and come home to watch TV or make new little Russians. The war is distant for most of them. And when the bite of the sanctions impacts them more fully, most will probably go into 'survival mode' rather than 'blame mode'.

Quite literally, lol.  Southeast Russia is 5000 miles away from the action.  Some of us in the US are closer to the action than a chunk of their citizens.
