I've not seen much in regards to internal politics on RT, at least not on the english site.
The primary complaint among Putin's supporters is that he hasn't done enough to combat the west and that he's been far too friendly to a system that effectively ruined Russia in the 90s and continues to undermine it. The now-infamous pensions reform that dropped his approval rating, for example - people see it as a reform that was essentially created and passed by the pro-western 'fifth column', but they've become angry at Putin for being too 'soft' on them and allowing it to happen.
The same feeling permeates a lot of policies, from the government providing funding to ostensibly anti-Russian media to the Russian military not directly responding to US-backed attacks on their units in Syria. -

This is like determining America's general opinion based on Fox or CNN -

wut
I just said I haven't seen much of that on RT.
I read a few Russian-language blogs and follow a couple of people on social media, though largely not for internal Russian politics. It's not hard to guage general opinion among Putin supporters if you actually get amongst it. -

no lol, I feel like I should learn though. I feed it through google translate and go back and check an english - russian dictionary for parts that don't make sense. I actually learnt a fair bit of german that way but the cyrillic betabet makes it difficult -

Yeah I learned a lot of Chinese that way. It's kinda cool. But i still think its a bad way to get an idea for what people generally think. Its like a Russian using 4chan or reddit. Its all very polarized online. You gotta talk to real people and live in a place to really know i think.
