"He's on the edge": Putin Finally Realized He's Losing Power - The Russian Dude [View all]



Kursk incursion revealed one of the most important things. Which is that the regime of Putin is not as invincible as people think it is. Regular Russian people do not unconditionally support Putin, as propaganda presents them. This was revealed as a result of the apathy of the nation, emotional impact of prolonged conflict, and government missteps. Kursk situation made local Russians realize that it's pretty much "every man for himself". And that there are still good Russians.
