Alot of russian propaganda probably isn't meant to be believed even in the domestic market. That's for the best, since alot of it is completely unbelievable on any terms. There is no counteroffensive, fake news! There is a massive counteroffensive and we destroyed them at the lines! Don't worry, we'll take all the land back! All three come from a single propagandist in a single 24 hour period. Okaaaaay..pick one.
The practical goal is to reinforce the idea that there is and can be no truth, that everything is politics....and since you don't understand the politics, it's best to stay out of it. This is the cut and dry appraisal of the war in ukraine as told by russian pows and their family members back home in interview after interview after interview. Who invaded who, who is responsible for you or your son being here? The question becomes -impossible- for people to answer...and, as a kicker, it's probably not safe for them to answer it anyway, no matter where they are.
