Yes, I do. Common people everywhere has a bit of stupidity and blind faith in institutions to protect them, and it is 10x more in authoritarian regimes like Russia, China, North Korea etc. Those states weaponise their unique language, most of their folks don't understand any English (written or spoken), hence suitably insulated from any international media or information flow. Given how Russia's common people drink the propaganda kool-aid from Kremlin on Zelinsky is a Nazi, NATO is full of Nazis etc. do you really doubt that?

That said, may be the Russian state can acquire Bitcoin secretively enough, and still maintain a counter-Bitcoin narrative as they are doing. Again, it depends on how well they can spin and whether anyone in the ranks can think critically and question, likely there will be no opposition to the narrative.
