Can you somehow quantify it or is it your gut feeling? Any articles out there?

I don't know if they catch small fish as in this example, it just isn't in the news. The bigger fish happens to be in the news, like shutting down international scam call center - 2 in LV, 1 in LT. Video from police cam if anyone wants to see smashing windows: https://www.vp.gov.lv/lv/jaunums/verieniga-starptautiska-ope...

We are also being educated in many places including schools, government institutions, posters, jobs etc about the risks, about how scammers work and stuff like that.

At least for Russia itself there's plenty of articles about it. Here's one:

> In Russia, for example, authorities there generally will not initiate a cybercrime investigation against one of their own unless a company or individual within the country’s borders files an official complaint as a victim.

> Eastern European countries, including Ukraine and Russia.

Okay, the term is used in geographical context and not geopolitical.
