Putin need popular support, it's kind of populism. Good or bad, it's their choice. Russia economy is not growing, heavily rely on energy export. Industry is stagnant, technology in general lag behind the west in decades.

If I am Putin, I would do the say, F the west on media, and win popular support. At least it can help me to win the next election. But it hurts Russia badly, and there is no way out.
For the long run, Russia is not winning, but losing.

The opportunity window is opening, after long waiting. Putin is still energetic, he can fight for another 10 years. The biggest wish Putin holds is the deterioration of China-US relationship. After that, Russia will have second life, and renaissance if they can catch the opportunities.

2019 is the very moment of 1979, the grand triangle is moving again.(China-Russia-US) Who will be the winner at last, depends on wisdom. The media play very limited role for Russia and China. but big role for US.

It's kind of desperate that Russia media audience depends on US media platform, such as google search, youtube, twitter, facebook, Instagram, etc.
Russia media is not strong enough to threaten US media power. The US would like to keep them alive to exchange the free media in Russia, so that US influence can penetrate into the heart of Russian.
