That is not quite true. The majority of population is afraid/unable/not want to be vocal about their opinion in public.

Anecdotal evidence: I live in Russia and I know only a couple of people who supports P. Both pro-war and anti-war people do not.

But you probably live in a big city and mostly have contact with people with similar socioeconomic status as you.

That's true, however I've spent 17 years in a countryside and I'm regularly visiting it. Also, urban population rate in Russia is quite high (at 75%) and 1M+ cities are around 30% to 40% of total pop.
