It's fine, but this is not the Navalny liberast segment of the population
It's the Z part of the population, we don't talk about strelkovs either or old Soviet generals who are generally against the modern leadership
We are talking about the ppl supportive of Russia and Kremlin population
It is these people who are now believing that the MOD and leadership is failing the guys at war
The people themselves, as has been said by analysts, are generally apathetic anyway since it is not a conscript army , therefor there is less skin in the game
The anger of the people is palpable but it is not 1980 afghan anger
Or 1990 chechen anger
Those were conscripts , this is 2022 professional contract army
So the anger isn't as directed
But there is a feeling that whereas the general part of Z supporters were pro Kremlin or pro Putin , or tolerated it for the sake of patriotism
A bitter taste is settling in the mouths of those who are looking for a scapegoat
These channels add fuel to the fire by directing the anger at the "MOD" who is failing guys
You have real military men razvedos, Kotenok, and even Strelkov who is an asshole , but nonetheless fought - yeah guys like martyanov say, those are tactical guys not decision makers , well that's fine , but if the rank and file is unhappy, then things can be dangerous for leadership
And those guys are getting together and talk with the army
This started first with Kiev withdrawal, then the moskva, then Kharkov, and then the bridge
That was the pattern of events which led to a limit in how much the Kremlin could keep a lid on flow of information
You can carry out military operations and keep it out of the eyes and ears of civilians, I mean, the economy is actually great so it hasn't affected people except the oligarchs and western liberast types - **** them anyway
But to those who support Russia , they could listen to voices which are more dramatic or hardliners
Is there much they can do? Maybe not, but 2024 is coming, yes Putin is widely popular but we will see how this anger is resolved
As for severskiy donets , it's obvious now they destroyed the VSU
