The Kremlin has not made much headway in the war on Ukraine. But in its attack on civil liberties in Russia it has been far more successful

in Russia, it has been far more successful. It has been vigorously suppressing dissent and demoralising opponents, turning a relatively open country into a complete dictatorship. It is the Kremlin’s biggest achievement in the conflict, says Gregory Asmolov, an expert on Russian information warfare: “You couldn’t even imagine this straightjacketed political reality a few months ago.”

Leonid Volkov, chief of staff for Alexei Navalny, a jailed opposition leader, estimates active and ideological support for the war at 10-15% and opposition as high as 30-40%. Research by the London School of Economics, which used a survey method of a sort previously used to estimate the level of racism in America, puts support for Russia’s war at about 53%.
