Oh, not about that - that I know well since year 2020 when everybody went with "territorial integrity of Azerbaijan" over every agreement and every other principle and every other circumstance during Artsakh war.
This was equivalent to 1993 in Russia (no, I didn't see it, I was born in 1996), when it turned out that Yeltsin being the elected president means that what he does is democratic, despite the parliament, the constitution and the supreme court being on the other side.
It actually sucks more with people from the West because they often sincerely believe that "free world" bullshit, while Russians parroting propaganda know that it's propaganda, they are just cowards or picked a side.
Not limited to that. It's also that a lot of people in a lot of situations today are spectators, while 30 years ago they would be participants. It's not only the Web, it's the whole cultural shift which is catastrophic and if it's not reverted, we'll be nostalgic over WWII with the "at least then you could heroically die on the side of the good guys" mood.
