The first thing we should understand and accept is that the war in Ukraine can only truly end once there has been profound political change in Russia..... The second thing to understand, without which the first only leads to undue despair, is that a revolution or profound political change is indeed possible in Russia in the medium term. There are three fundamental preconditions for this: * The dissatisfaction with the Kremlin’s domestic policies and with the vulnerable position of many people at all levels of Russian society, except a small percentage of the most affluent. * The presence of a sufficiently large number of people with experience in independent or even oppositional activities — these are the future activists of a broad popular movement who will change the country, removing the current leadership that has seized wealth and power. I would like to note that a lot of the people with experience in political participation are from younger generations, and in this demographic left-wing and democratic views are the most widespread. * A series of mistakes and crimes by the Russian authorities, the first of which was the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which make political crises in Russia almost inevitable. Prigozhin’s mutiny was the first instance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
