The fact that he even dared to march on Moscow
The fact that in Rostov on Don and Voronezh, not only did the Russian military not stop Prigo, but some encouraged him.
That shows the emperor has no clothes.
Prigo ain’t going to replace Putin (thank goodness), but he is saying that the Tsar has no clothes, so time to grab fiefdoms while you can
Wagner was stopped dead by a ditch in the road. LOL.
the coup couldn’t have happened if there wasn’t already a lot of dissatisfaction in Russia with Putin’s so-called “leadership”
just sayin’ the obvious ...
It shows nothing, it shows only that those who try get crushed.
I don’t think slogans are useful tools here.
Just for comparison
Russia recognizes 35 official languages without cultural persecution
How many are recognized in Ukraine?
The leftists - those who support big government and government control over the people and industry — those people are Putin and his followers.
Wow, thanks.
Obviously not enough dissatisfaction to follow through. Instead, Prigozhion ran away like a little girl.
Again, I think its wishful thinking to say Putin winning here is somehow a big win for those opposing his tyranny.
Most people will see this as proof its hopeless.
Really have to wonder what these people are smoking.
The USA is closer to “political collapse” than the Russkies.
it’s a news source and the effects can be validated (and should be) elsewhere.
The fact is that Putin’s hubris has led to
1. no designated successor
2. a centralized state where the government controls peoples, peoples’ lives and industry far more than anyone in the USA or outside North Korea could imagine
3. a foolhardy 16 month war with Russia at a loss
The Russian Federation’s collapse has been talked about ever since Putin switched President<—>Prime Minister with Medvedev.
At that point it was clear that not only had Putin centralized a big all-powerful government in himself and had no designated successor.
This is exactly how the Rurikids collapsed in the late 1500s.
When Putin invaded Ukraine for the second time in Feb 2022, it was clear that he was making the same mistake a Nicholas II and that Russia was overestimated just as it was before the Crimean war of 1853.
The Russian federation’s collapse due to the stupidity of Putin’s 22 year misrule was expected. Russia had a chance in the 1990s, but Putin stomped on it and ground it to dust
Prigozhin is a monster - a psychopath who was given his own private army filled with criminals.
Prigozhin is from St. Petersburg - Putin’s old grounds in the 1990s.
During the 1980s Prigozhin was in and out of prison and used his pull with Putin to get to oligarch levels of wealth
Yet this criminal was able to walk in to Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh with zero opposition on the ground. THAT is stunning.
Prigo may not be or have been able to overthrow Pooptin, yet he was able to show that the Tsar has no support.
Expect more of the inner circle to carve out territories for themselves
He didn’t get crushed. His band of criminals were racing to Moscow with no opposition on the ground.
Troll.
Someone should tell CNN Steve that this was an old story on Sunday.
silverleaf “Russia recognizes 35 official languages without cultural persecution”
You do realize that is a lie, right, silvo?
From 2020, amendments to the Russian Constitution stipulate that Russian is the language of the “state forming people”. With president Vladimir Putin’s signing of an executive order on 3 July 2020 to insert the amendments into the constitution, they took effect on 4 July 2020
On 19 June 2018, the Russian State Duma adopted a bill that made education in all languages but Russian optional, overruling previous laws by ethnic autonomies, and reducing instruction in minority languages to only two hours a week.
On 10 September 2019, Udmurt activist Albert Razin self-immolated in front of the regional government building in Izhevsk as it was considering passing the controversial bill to reduce the status of the Udmurt language.
In the North Caucasus, the law came after a decade in which educational opportunities in the indigenous languages was reduced by more than 50%, due to budget reductions and federal efforts to decrease the role of languages other than Russian
Are you ignoring Russia’s history or Russification in Ukraine, both under the Tsars and under the Soviet Union? Let’s not pretend that Russian laws or constitution are worth the paper that they are written on.
6.2 billion in US had more to do with this. Most of you are clueless. We are going to get hurt by this bad.
