Don't think there's much new in this but quite a nice overview.

What has been very interesting from day 1 is the amount of free or more covert coverage of protests dissent and arrests in Ruzzia. A sea change from the old USSR way of carrying on. |

I think many know Putin's mobilization won't change things, save for getting more people on both sides killed. |

Yes, the declaration of the mobilization was not something Putin wanted to do, but he was forced into it to quieten criticism from the ultra-nationalists. So that in itself is a sign of ceding control to the ultra-nationalists. As for the protests, these not unexpected and Putin may believe he can get them under control – they are not yet at a 1917 revolutionary level. Then those fleeing the "call up", he's probably happy to be rid of these people. He's said as much about other people who've left Russia. They're still a small percentage if the population with the bonus, for Putin, that they may cause problems in the countries that shelter them. Could this change? Possibly. Unfortunately, that means the ultra-nationalists may have greater influence in Putin's decisions – and that's not good. |
