> I've quizzed many many people I had connections with and literally all of them support the war up to some extent.

I would have reconsidered my approach to making connections if that happened to me :)

1) I'm an asperger and my ability to build social links is severely impaired

2) I'm not in touch with these people anymore though I've tried to reach everyone I was able to and get their opinions. My conclusion is: the propaganda is extremely effective. People there easily pronounce self-contradictive statements and easily turn to aggression.

Agree, propaganda makes wonders. But the people from "my circle" just don't watch TV (and that's not surprising given that ~40% of people in Moscow or Saint-Pete don't watch TV). I completely acknowledge that "my circle" does not represent general population and I wrote it in the original post.

If you’re on HN in Russia, writing perfect English, you are no doubt part of a certain class.
