I'd say the majority of ordinary Russians would be happy with no Putin but given the state surveillance that's been ramped up by Putin it's a brave russian that would whisper that. The increase in positive russian social media coverage has everything to do with two social media departments setup one by the fsb in st petersburg and the other by the ministry for foreign affairs in moscow. Estimates range from fifty thousand upto two hundred and fifty thousand being paid to put up pro russian comments as well as adopting names in english and claiming to be nationals from the west that support everything russia does and saying they wish they lived in russia.

It's digital propaganda and it's mostly bovine excrement but it seems to keep vlad happy he likes positive comments even when he's paying for them.
