    That’s so vile and disgusting. I wonder what the internal Russian opinion is on this. Do they buy it?

      I don’t live in Russia anymore, but none of my acquaintances there care about this kind of exhibitions. At least my bubble knows it’s propaganda and corruption, and would avoid these kind of events. I’m sure many others would visit and feel so veeeeery offended at how terribly Russians are treated in the world…

      Similar to domestic U.S. reaction to the current regime’s babble of conflicting messages: some selectively shrug off or swallow whatever’s convenient, some know it’s unreliable and often harmful but believe they’ll personally come out ahead so they accept some uncertainty, some see through it all to the naked corruption at the core. It’s a mistake to think millions of people will or can all believe the exact same things when it comes to something as complex as politics.
