      Not even close. The people who matter in terms of political power are muscovites. And in Moscow, everything looks fine and beautiful and modern and convenient. You wouldn’t know a war was raging on except for the propaganda. Yes, I know some drone attacks have disrupted that, but not nearly enough.
