The slow, invisible decay of the Russian state is officially over. We have now entered the acute phase of systemic collapse, and it is shutting down daily life out in the open.
In this episode of Inside Russia, I break down the sudden, cascading infrastructure failures hitting the country right now:
• Nationwide mobile internet and Telegram blackouts
• The sudden failure of digital banking and payment systems
• Paralyzed public transport, malfunctioning taxis, and vanishing municipal services
• Elite loyalists beginning to turn as the system freezes
This isn’t a temporary glitch or a string of bad luck. Putin’s totalitarian system was built entirely for control, and it has finally become too fragile to sustain a modern society.
I argue why Russia has just crossed a terrifying point of no return, and why the breakdown of basic, everyday infrastructure is the first true stage of regime change.
If you want to understand what is actually happening on the ground in Russia today, watch this until the end.
Peasants are still doing what they always do : eat beetroot, shit in a hole in the ground outside their hovels and provide cannon fodder for their fuhrer.
In SP and Muskovy they still live in nice apartments, use WhatsApp, eat in high end restaurants, shop in high end fashion stores, go to high end night clubs and get all their favourite luxury fmcg’s delivered via Turkey, Georgia and Armenia.
They are still some way from collapse.
Ukraine is not even half way through the expected life of the hideous regime in kremlin west.
Zel has just said he is responding to every ruZZian attack using long range munitions of their own design.
In other words, he is alone, like Churchill was in 1939-41.
Also like Churchill he has to contend with a pro-ruZZia US president who refuses to help him.
“Hovel” – Adding it to my vocab!
