Coup watch? Not sure if this has been said here before. Yesterday was Moscow's 875th birthday. A lot of streets were closed off for the festivities and we had a lovely firework show in the evening. That's ground truth from someone who spent 14 000 steps or more in Moscow yesterday. On an unrelated note. I recently took a ride with a cab driver who was a VIP driver for the Duma and higher-ups previously. He said that they slashed his salary when this madness started. Was quite well-paid previously. If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |

It is hard to imagine how Putin continues the sham “special military operation” in the face of this. |

Quoting: Fast 'n Bulbous No explanation from the police for the Kremlin https://twitter.com/_/status/1568622184435949568 Meanwhile: Local Russian lawmakers called for Putin's removal from power over the war in Ukraine, and then the police went after them Local Russian lawmakers in both St. Petersburg and Moscow issued calls this week for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be removed from power over the war in Ukraine — a potentially risky move in a country where dissent can lead to imprisonment or worse. Municipal deputies from the Smolninsky District Council in St. Petersburg, the Russian president's hometown, issued a statement calling on Russia's parliament to remove Putin from power and charge him with high treason for launching the war in Ukraine, per the Washington Post. On Wednesday, Deputy Dmitry Palyuga tweeted out the document, which said, "We believe that the decision made by President Putin to start the special military operation is detrimental to the security of Russia and its citizens." "The Council of the Smolninskoye Municipal District decided to appeal to the State Duma deputies with a proposal to bring charges of treason against President Putin in order to remove him from office," Palyuga stated in the tweet with the document, adding, "The decision was supported by the majority of the deputies present." In the aftermath, the lawmakers were told by police that they are facing legal charges "due to actions aimed at discrediting the current Russian government," the Post reported. Lawmakers from a municipal council in Moscow's Lomonosovsky district made a similar move, also calling on Putin to resign. "The rhetoric you and your subordinates have used for a long time is imbued with intolerance and aggression, which in the end has effectively sent our country back into the Cold War era," the local Moscow lawmakers said in a statement, as reported by the Latvia-based investigative outlet The Insider. "Russia is once again feared and hated, and we are once again threatening the world with nuclear weapons," they added. "In view of the above, we ask that you resign from your post, since your views and your model of government are hopelessly outdated and hinder the development of Russia and its human potential." Shortly after ordering the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in late February, Putin signed a law making it illegal to spread so-called "fake news" about the Russian military. Those found guilty could land in prison for up to 15 years. Rights groups and activists have decried the move as a blatant attempt to stifle free speech and legitimate criticism of the war. Critics of Putin have often ended up in prison or have died in violent or mysterious ways.

Coup watch? Rumours are swirling in Moscow that a number of former generals and KGB officials are preparing to oust Russia’s president Vladimir Putin and plan to end the war in Ukraine, which is increasingly seen across Russia as a strategic mistake and, above all, an economic disaster. The top of Putin’s former employer – the Russian security service FSB – is said to be so frustrated about the lack of military progress in Ukraine that it has reached out to a number of generals and former army officials, according to various analysts and local media reports. In particular a group called the ‘Siloviki’ – which comprises of former FSB officers who are active in Russian politics – is said to be pushing hard to replace Putin, together with former officers from the GRU, KGB and FSO, other Russian intelligence units. The idea a coup may be increasingly likely is further strengthened by social media activity across Russia and Eastern Europe, which has gone into overdrive in the last 24 hours. Moreover, analysts in and outside Russia have said all signs are there that Putin will face a coup soon. The Russian president is reportedly “very worried” and has tightened security in and around the Kremlin. “Does it matter? It matters a lot,” said Russian security expert Andrei Soldatov told The Center for European Policy Analysis. “The Russian President has been bracing for a coup for some weeks as has faced fierce criticism over his “special operation” in Ukraine and he has purged around 150 of his spies over the constant failures,” Soldatov explained. Russian analyst Alexey Muraviev is also convinced that the Russian President is facing a coup from his top military and intelligence chiefs. Muraviev told Sky News Australia that an attempt to remove Putin may be extremely likely because “I think that there have been tensions between Russia and the intelligence community and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.” https://twitter.com/_/status/1568790478249771009 |
