Reality check: 4% approval in a country currently at war on its home territory is not possible. How would they recruit and arm anyone for the front lines if 96% hate them? There wouldn't even be enough believers even for barrier troops. Cell phones are everywhere, there would be leaks of front line soldiers speaking out against the leadership all the time, but we only see that from russians. At least make the lies plausible.
