Russian President Vladimir Putin 's approval rating has remained at a steady high even as casualties from the Ukraine war continue to mount.
Peter Bergen : Putin 's political resilience may come as a surprise to many who assumed that Western sanctions would kindle societal opposition to the war and fragment Russian elites.
He says the Kremlin has succeeded in crafting a worldview that explains why Russians must endure war-related challenges and allows them to make sense of their circumstances.
The existence and prevalence of the Kremlin ’s ideology have significant implications for U.S. foreign policy.
Vladimir Putin has been laying ideological groundwork for decades , working to unify Russian opinion in support of the regime.
The Kremlin ’s indoctrination effort is not only paying off; as the war in Ukraine continues, it is also accelerating.
Many of the narratives spread by the regime draw on attitudes that are already deeply entrenched in Russian society.
Frida Ghitis: Despite its flaws, Putin ’s ideological campaign has successfully cultivated support within the Russian public.
She says the share of the Russian population willing and able to counter these ideological trends is shrinking rapidly.
