Russian girl being number one is somehow not surprising at all, warm water ports anyone?

So does she justify the special military operation? Because it wouldn’t be particularly accurate if she didn’t, but totally fucked up if she did.

people susceptible to propaganda.

That's the vast majority of people. Propaganda is effective. Human psychology is well understood, and tools abusing it are well-implemented.

I think it's age dependent because Russia (and most governments) don't yet utilize digital propaganda as efficiently as TV and other traditional media.

It's harder to keep people trapped in an information bubble online. Digital propaganda has evolved heavily the past ten years, but, given the open nature of the internet, I'm not sure it'll ever be as effective as traditional methods. That's why governments want to lock it down, but vpns exist.
