I honestly don’t know the answer and I would like to, but Russia is a big place and easy to silo people and feed them propaganda. I wonder what some of them get and accept as true?
If you talk to some of the Russian trolls, even here, if you believe what they say, they’re very much brainwashed. Think how Putin banned the war from even being named truthfully - they have to call it a special military operation. The truth in Russia is whatever Putin decides, their media is totally under his control, so that people have to have access to Western news to have any idea of the truth. Maybe its also easier for them to believe Putin, since they’ve been so beaten down over time, the older ones especially are probably too confused and hopeless to be interested in the truth. I think this was done deliberately by a propaganda mastermind named surkov.
