One Sergey Poletaev (quoted here) writes in RT about the Shock and Awe doctrine:
Russia also succumbed to the idea of the shock and awe doctrine.
After the war with Georgia in 2008, the Russian military was restructured to carry out rapid and destructive military interventions. However, Russia was the first to stumble on this doctrine. In spring 2022, it faced a critical choice: Either fight a serious, bloody war of attrition or settle for a disgraceful peace.
