Russian propaganda is good at manipulating public opinion. But its effects aren’t working like they used to.

, a Massachusetts-based data analytics firm, to track local sentiment across Russia using AI-enabled sentiment analysis.

Standard polling often concentrates on population centers including Moscow and St. Petersburg, which can skew national averages. Outside of those major cities, a more negative picture emerges. Our analysis shows that the Kremlin is increasingly unable to control public sentiment outside major cities with national propaganda.

But as the war drags into a second year and as more Russians feel its effects on their daily lives — especially the growing number of men drafted or conscripted into the armed forces — the limitations of Kremlin propaganda are increasingly apparent. When the nationwide “partial mobilization” was announced in September 2022, there were demonstrable dips in the effectiveness of pro-war propaganda. We tracked sentiment across Russia’s eight federal districts, from Siberia to the far east, south to northwest, and the drop in public sentiment was clearly visible. Opinions trended negative and efforts to impact those opinions were less effective and shorter lived.

It worked well in 2020. They got their man into the White House.

Oh it's not propaganda. It's truth and it's working great. Truth people love. In the west there are many people who support Russia and they are on the streets daily with Russian flags. But you scared to report it. 😂

Este primer aniversario solo muestra que Biden es débil y mediocre y Putin humilló a Biden. Las sanciones no detienen las guerras, y Putin lo calculó desde 2014. Recuerden amigos, Estados Unidos solo gana guerras en el cine y TV.

American propaganda is even better!

Hopefully this is hitting close to home

They should take some tips from the US propaganda machine, aka the MSM.

Yea and Ukraine Propaganda is a myth. 😂

How about that American propaganda brought to you by organizations like politico who just shill for their DNC media overlords That working well still?

I think being 'disappeared' for even the slightest hint of non-full-support is the backbone of the propaganda.

But it doesn’t stop the Putin apologists ranting in the media and on Twitter.

What about us. What r u guys exactly.

That's surprising because usually....
