Thoughtful analysis. I think that a related factor behind Russian reluctance to talk about the war is an attitude of 'let the leaders decide, who are we to know what they know?' It's the outcome of a successful process of depoliticization.

Now that we're all experts who "do our own research," authoritarian states like Russia more easily spread propaganda & disinformation. Looking forward to reviewing this important new book by @stevhutch.bsky.social & others for the Slavonica journal:
