In your example it was the introduction of those Western products that had some effect.

Now, those products are ubiquitous and it’s their withdrawal that might have some effect. Most kids through middle age adults in Russia don’t know what it’s like without those Western products.

The West seems happy to give Putin the full USSR glory days experience.

I'm pretty sure it'll just end up being pirated by those who can, and those who can't will just move on. I don't see parents waging a revolution because they can't get Disney. Media can be easily substituted if it's the only option
