"Putin's got a big problem that's difficult to solve"
For Marksim Samorukov, researcher and specialist in international matters, the Russian regime is much more vulnerable than we think, due to the extreme personalization of the power of the master of the Kremlin, who is increasingly cut off from reality.
As a researcher at the Russia-Eurasia Center in Berlin, Samorukov beleives that Putin's regime is close to collapse, and its economy is on the brink of collapse:
"The very nature of the Russian regime makes it vulnerable, because it's totally dependent on the decision of a single person. This concentration of power has been further reinforced by the war in Ukraine. To the point that, faced with any new problem, the regime only reacts according to the personal point of view and biases of an autocrat."
The researcher continues:
"With such a system, it's impossible not to make mistakes. All the more so since this man, Vladimir Putin, is getting older and is becoming more and more detached from reality. His obsession with Ukraine makes him ignore all other mattera, along with inflation of the Russian economy."
Putin is developing a war economy in the short term that will shake Russian society.
An analysis that is at least interesting and relevant.
