Kirill A. Dmitriev Kirill, now stop and think whether it's possible for Putin critics in Russia to say that the presidency is becoming too mighty and making mistakes? Shall I remind you to what happed to Nemtsov in 2015 and to Navalny in 2020-24 - for doing exactly that?


A brilliant piece by Alexander Gabuev 陳寒士 which explains how the lack of Russia strategy and some of Western rhetoric have played into Putin’s hands and how messaging needs to change. A must read foreignaffairs.com/russia/russia-…
