@Czarnobajewka We have to admit that Vanger (whatever?) force is nothing like armed forces of the Netherlands — they are not even fighting for Prigozhin, although it might look like that. There are no military targets in Moscow, nothing to capture there, Putin was definitely not there and Shoigu might have never been there in the first place.
But raping and pillaging in Moscow might look attractive — honestly, I'm surprised he was able to stop that 🤷

@useless_idiot My post was more or less ironic 😅

You might be right here, might be not. I don't know, it's not WW2 times anymore, communications can be set up anywhere — in all seriousness, I believe what we have today is based on loyalty to Putin personally, no matter who sits in the Kremlin — all his governors are illegitimate. I think replacing him will break Russia apart, but I'm no prophet, we'll just wait and see 🤷

I don't speak of common folk here of course, I went out yesterday and I think that most were on Prigozhin's side. I think their opinion does not matter — that's how things are in Russia. Only those with guns have power, but I don't think they realize it themselves — that is what yesterday's revolt has shown us. I think it will happen again.

The elections are March 2024. Maybe they'll keep him more-or-less believable until then. Based on what @kravietz is posting the #GRU Silovik will probably try replace him with Alexey #Dumin/#Dyumin.
I don't think #Putin has the Vito Corleone personality that makes him likable. He has to ride a bear through a thunderstorm or something to do that. So his loyalist are just that because they believe its the safest for now. Also just my opinion.

Well, the Kremlin is in Moscow. And for many Russians politics stop at "Whoever lives in the Kremlin is in charge."
