Contrary to state controlled russian media we have lots of witness reports what was going on in Donetsk and Luhansk territories before the invasion, it seems Putin had his own torture cellars to "convince" critics and normal citizens.
Putin has prepared for years for this war, including economic measures.
We will see how long he will fare, Ukraine has a share of a third of the worldwide wheat production. This year harvest is off anyway, and also Russia's economy is effectively dead now.
The Eu will stop russian gas imports altogether so no money anymore. Experts say that there will be no more russian 'economy' in june 2022, and there is the real threat of a famine. Anything like that being a theme in Russian media?

Thanks for the answer, but I didn't see any pro-Putin propaganda in my post. Refugees from Donbass live in our cities, what more reliable witnesses can there be? However, I understand that it's hard to believe. The truth will still triumph over time, we will return to this later.
About the economy and hunger. This is a typical stereotype. Even in the 90s, with the complete collapse of the economy, not only was there no famine, but also many people had stocks. A lot of food is now imported from China, India, Central Asia, Latin America. Deliveries from Europe or the USA of products, well, this is at most 5 percent. About wheat. Ukraine and Russia are the largest suppliers on the market, it is not for nothing that China has removed the embargo on purchases from Russia. So there is definitely no such information about hunger in the media, and I have not seen this in your media, this is nonsense. Experts need to get their a.. off the couch and drive around our country at least once, maybe then the forecasts will be accurate. This is exactly what I wrote about - complete ignorance of the development of the country. If you don't listen to the "smart" experts yourself, what do you think? Can you imagine hunger in your country ?
Gas and oil are not the only materials and in general a lot of them are exported, almost half of the periodic table. I don't understand why everyone clung to gas, it's probably easier to explain to ordinary people.
