I think Russia keeps a pretty strict lid on bad news domestically and when the situation gets past the point where they can hide it, people tend come up with explanations that fit what they know. Like when the fuel crisis got bad enough that people outside of the war zone were affected, many regular Russians assumed there was nothing wrong with the supply and someone along the way was just trying to make money. And someone probably was, tbh, even if the crisis is real.
