I don't know how significant it is. Dictatorships have always been feared and despised. And armies lost motivation many times in history, before the internet.

From a military perspective what I think is different this time is how (probably) US intelligence is helping Ukrainians. It seems they know any Russian move in advance in real time and I doubt such a feat could be pulled in the past.
