The Moscow Times quoted a survey by the independent election center Rosmir, which showed that only 65 percent of the respondents have to see state Russian television stations compared to 86 percent at the beginning of the war.
The Kremlin relies on state media to form public opinion in Russia.
State-produced news and analysis programs on the government-related television channels-1, Rossiya-1 and NT radiate a flood of propaganda, and the main moderators, such as the Kremlin favorite Vladimir Solowjow, have become known.
It is not uncommon for the television analysts to pass into racist rush speeches and call the Ukrainians as "subhumans".
Analysts and commentators who appear on Russian state television are all decisive pro-Kremlin and pro war. There is generally no debate during the programs, apart from the criticism that the Kremlin is too soft towards Ukraine.
It is not unusual for analysts, generally professors or journalists or retired military officers, prospect of a bombing of Great Britain for his support for Ukraine.
But although the Kremlin may consider this as a successful strategy, he never had to keep the television program under control and seems to be weakened.
Support for war sinks in opinion surveys
Really popular TV personalities such as talk show moderator Ivan Urgant left Russia because of their dissatisfaction with the war.
The problem for the Kremlin now is that the support for Vladimir Putin's war could decrease if fewer people pursue their propaganda channels.
There are some evidence of this. According to opinion polls, only 55 percent of people in Russia say that they support Putin's invasion in Ukraine compared to 66 percent a few months ago.
This is due to the general war tiredness that has occurred and on the other hand because Russia has become more difficult due to Western sanctions.
Another survey states that the number of people who eat in Moscow restaurants has dropped to a five -month low because it has become too expensive, and cinema owners have warned that the sector will collapse without greater state support.
Hollywood no longer sells his blockbuster publications to Russian cinemas.
