Hmm, not excusing the Russians, but in the spirit of saving the meaning of "Gish Gallop":
Russian propaganda does not strike me at all as using Gish Gallop tactics. They repeat fairly simple points in multiple venues without trying to overwhelm the opponent using rhetorical superiority.
I do think that the Western hawks like Sikorski and McFaul are far closer to using Gish Gallop in debates.
I also think that the extent of Russian propaganda is overstated. When it is there, it is always obvious. Western style consent manufacturing is way more pervasive and stealthy.
