You would obviously know better than myself but civilian unrest has to start somewhere and scenes of innocent protesters being brutalized are eventually going to spark a reaction (IMO), especially as these scenes become more and more common in the days/weeks/months ahead. The Russian population has largely been able to stick their collective heads in the sand to date. Now that things are about to get "real" for many Russians and desperation begins to set in with people/families who want no part of this war I think we will see the resistance grow drastically. In particular, what happens to those who are unsuccessful in fleeing the country? they might not all immediately turn to anti-war activism but surely there will be some and once that movement gains momentum I don't see it being quelled. Time will tell, perhaps I am naive.
