  "description": "An independent journalist discusses the paradoxical situation in Russia where, despite international criticism and ongoing war impacts, the Russian people have largely embraced President Vladimir Putin. The article explores how Putin's domestic popularity remains high, supported by state media narratives that portray him as a strong leader defending Russian interests. It notes social dynamics including patriotic rallies and state-sponsored propaganda reinforcing this image, amid the backdrop of the Ukraine war and western sanctions. The journalist analyzes the internal Russian political atmosphere as complex, with a mix of genuine support, fear of dissent, and effective control over public narrative. The piece was published on July 14-15, 2024, by Latvian Public Broadcasting's news service.",
