The bulk of Russia's invasion force is comprised by people from remote villages.
You're talking about people who risked their lives, and many died, to pillage washing machines and indoor toilets.
Do you really think the literacy level and access to information from the average Russian grunt on the floor accommodates this info? Many didn't even knew where in the world they were stationed.
