Things that would have seemed preposterous 10-15 years ago, are being talked about, or have happened, without much outcry...and if there is, its become so partisan, it not the acct anymore, only who it is coming from. That's in countries with Freedom of the Press...for countries without that, I would assume that the brainwashing is more pervasive.
The Russians will simply blame whatever the BLM equivalent is over there and "the Capitalists"
but at least no major action today...so that's one positive

From what I have seen, most Russians would be far more angry if they realize they are losing, then that they are raping and killing civilians.
I've seen several videos from prominent russian Youtubers and channels like 1420 and the mentality is just different.
Appealing on the humanitarian side is a very western left mentality, that just doesn't work in a country which is ultra nationalist.
Appealing to Russians that civilians are getting killed doesn't work. Doing things like blowing up the Crimea bridge, bombing Belgorod, shipping dead bodies and showing just how dire the situation for the Russian military really have a much bigger impact. The Moskva sinking means it will never make a Victory Day appearance again. The helicopter attack on Belgorod caused panic and generated questions.
This is why Russia can only be beaten militarily. They need to be humiliated where russians in Moscow and St Petersberg are actively questioning everything.
It's believed one of the reasons why the air show in Moscow was cancelled was due to there being a very real threat of planes being shot down from the sky during the parade. That type of live shock cannot be hidden.
I think the message "Russia is losing the war and has 25K soldiers already killed, Putin is a loser" would have a deeper impact then the one was was used on the hack.
