What's equally fascinating is how they manage to brainwash and agitate so many people to kill each other, from their remote estates in Dubai, Spain, Italy, France, and from yachts in the open sea. Many countries can be called "rich country of poor people" but Russia, Belarus, Ukraine indisputably beat all competition.

Can you elaborate?

If you’re referring to the content and troll farms I don’t think those are run by oligarchs

just random working class folks trying to get by

Oligarchs have cuts of revenue streams from an oil refinery or a piece of a grain silo, random titles to revenue generating things built with Federal agency budgets given away for practically free when the government wasn't going to own the means of production anymore. Just had to be there.

At least some troll farms were run by Prigozhin, an oligarch. Then there is intense domestic propaganda directed at domestic population.
ah, yeah. I’ve run into social media marketers for products that told me they can do the same for NGOs, politicians, they named India, Russia, states within countries I never heard of, US

domestic propaganda is huge, definitely flies under the radar
