Yeah man, Russians are going to go around answering polls truthfully right now. Brilliant.

Imagine getting an anoymous phone survey "Do you support Putin's glorious Special Operation in Ukraine or are you a nefarious traitor"

Oh, I actually received such a call from a government-funded polling agency while still in Russia. Told them everything I think about it (which was still somewhat difficult despite the fact that the actual risks were low), but some questions were tricky to answer in such a way that actually reflects my opinion, e.g. something like "do you think our army is succeeding in defeating the nationalist batallions in Ukraine and protecting the people of Donbas?"
