You don't fight a war on that scale without the whole population being substantially involved. It's estimated something like 10-20% of Russia's entire GDP is going to the invasion.
Russia isn't a despotic state. Huge numbers of Russia's have left, because they disagreed with the war. The people remaining tend to either be poor, or immoral.
