  • Amichai Chikli
    Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 9 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 9 hours ago

“So will Russians blame Putin for failing to avert the tragedy? Collective psychology is notoriously unpredictable. Some may, but it is unlikely that anything would come of it. Even without this attack, it has been clear to the Russian population that the period of stability, security and economic growth that Putin has been lauded for is long over. War is literally at the door with Ukrainian forces conducting incursions into Russian territory, sending drones to strike oil refineries and destroying Russian battleships in the Black Sea.”

“The intelligence services are focused on political investigation and intimidation of citizens. They do not fulfill their direct responsibility to protect society from real threats. The March 22 attack at the Crocus City Hall looks like a grandiose failure on the part of the state. Fantastic amounts of money are spent on 'security,' but in reality, this security is not provided.”

“Several factors contributed to achieving this surreal result: the intense brainwashing through Russian state media that channel the Kremlin's toxic propaganda; vote-buying through the expansion of the welfare state and various social benefits on the eve of the election; and ballot stuffing and rigging through the opaque early voting and electronic voting systems.”

“Prigozhin's rebellion - that was the strongest blow to the legitimacy of the leadership. And where does legitimacy come from? From the people. Therefore, the desire to throw oneself into the people and feel you are supported, it's the kind of need that arises against the backdrop of a rebellion.”

“Among the few remaining sources of authority for the Putin regime was his longstanding claim that he restored 'law and order' after the 'chaotic' 1990s. This perception will now lie in tatters and leave him much more vulnerable over the longer term, even if he eventually prevails.”

“If ordinary Russians continued getting their children back in coffins while the children of the elite shook their arses in the sun. Russia would face turmoil along the lines of 1917 that brought the Bolsheviks to power. This divide can end as in 1917 with a revolution. First, the soldiers will stand up and after that, their loved ones will rise up. There are already tens of thousands of them - relatives of those killed. And there will probably be hundreds of thousands - we cannot avoid that.”

“It is deeply gratifying to note the enormous constructive contribution of the Russian Orthodox Church and other Christian denominations in unifying society, preserving our historical memory, educating youth and strengthening the institution of family.”

“For two decades, the argument has been that oppression and human rights violations are a necessary evil to ensure economic growth and stability, [but] in the end, Putin's regime has neither. The increasing brutality in Russian society has forced the country's brightest to leave in search for a better future for their families.”

“This figure is clearly overestimated or includes Russian citizens who live abroad or own real estate there. Political emigration makes up a microscopic share. This is mainly consumer emigration, what we used to call 'sausage' emigration.”

“We are living through a moment when the Kremlin is losing unambiguous control over the minds of voters. We are seeing how voters are experiencing growing anger at what we might call the status quo. People want change.”

“We are all in a trap - trapped by one tyrant. This stupor that comes from giving everything you possibly can, but nothing changes - it is hard.”

“It is the Russian regime, rather than the public, which needs the elections. They serve to validate the regime's legality and legitimacy, and also keep the so-called majority relatively mobilized. The Kremlin will get what it wanted: the Duma as an institute of support for a political system that is entering a stage not of transition, but effectively another reset in 2024.”

“The prevailing doom and gloom analysis of Russia tends to ignore the enormous progress the country and society have made in the past 30 years. The greatest paradox of Putin's regime lies in the fact that despite deteriorating politics, the cultural and social tectonics went in the opposite direction from the political regime. Simply put, Russia has never in the last 100 years been as westernised and modernised as it is now. It is true that without rampant corruption and with more prudent handling of oil and gas revenues, Russians could live infinitely better than they are living now. But the standard of living is comparable to that in poorer European Union countries and is still the best in the lived experience of Russians of all ages.”
