The issue isn't disagreement with the elite. It's that the actual political conversation, the process of disagreeing with the elite, is deliberately targeted and made more chaotic and less productive. The public can't settle on a real narrative and realistic demands to present to the elites.

The issue is disagreement with the elite, that's why whenever a protest become a bit too public or critics start to be a bit more heard they always accuse Russia to be behind, even when it's totally ridiculous

So you think it is in Putin's interest to make it harder for western citizens to disagree with western elites by injecting chaos into the process?

I can see qui prodest of this productivity disruption, but it doesn't point to Putin.
