People are saying that the non-existent reaction of Russians to Prigozhin’s march on Moscow shows that Russians no longer support Putin.
This is a complete misunderstanding of what Russians are like. Nobody gave them an order to resist, so they didn’t resist.
You can bring NATO troops waving rainbow flags onto the Red Square, and the people of Russia will sit vapidly by. And if you tell them on TV to worship the rainbowed NATO troops as their gods and saviors, they will.
This is a collectivist culture with an absent concept of personal agency.
