I live in Russia, and I can tell you that it’s not hard to find Russians to have very GAW-type conversations with. The main challenge is that they often think that their TV news is distorting the truth about the west when it’s actually very based and accurate. Not perfect but you can actually get accurate information from watching it.
I don't blame them for being skeptical of all news outlets. It's a wise mindset to have considering the propaganda the Russian people had endured in the past and the propaganda currently being peddled in the west.
They know.

Agreed. Imagine their surprise when an American moves into their neighborhood and tells them it’s all true!
