You're minimizing the effect of propaganda.
The Russians have been subjected to it (about this war) intensely those last five years.
OTOH, and I don't know where you are from, the US people have been subjected to it intensely since 1955 (the US propaganda machine is probably the best in the world, many books have been written about it).
And if you're from the US and it makes you buckle, just consider that it's the same for the Russians that have been indoctrinated for a while.
Anyway, not to defend the Russians, but it's a sad situation all around. And as usual, the civilians are the victims. But they will cheer their oppressors, because they are idiots.
