Alltså: Putin är ju i full färd med att göra det absolut sista du vill göra som bananrepubliksdiktator? 
Historien är full av enväldesrepubliker, men det var när folket som slavade under dessa inte längre kunde se en framtid för sina barn; när de dog i krig som inte hade något med fosterlandets tjänst att göra och föräldrarna inte ens fick svar på varför eller när dessa barn bara försvann, blev en anonym statistik för att de gjort sig obekväma för myndigheterna: Då har folket rest sig mot makten!

Putin kommer aldrig svara på det, för han är den som skickade ryska söner in i döden.

Några svar kommer ryska familjemedlemmar tyvärr heller aldrig att få i nuläget. För att yppa sanningen är i detta land belagt med 15 års fängelse.
More Russians Consider Costs of War in Ukraine as Casualties Mount
It was only with his brother’s death, Mr. Kononov, 32, said in a phone interview, that he started paying attention to the war raging just over 50 miles from his home. And he realized, he said, that his brother had died in a war that “no one needs.”

Det är som bekant i direkt strid med rysk lagstiftning att sätta in värnpliktiga i krig... Så det finns många föräldrar till de 20.000+ döda ryssar i Ukraina som undrar vad fan det är som pågår? Varför "fosterlandet" helt plötsligt nu krigar mot ett så kallat "brodersfolk" och begår brott för att kunna göra detta.
Missing in action on the high seas
"My conscript son, as I was informed by the direct commanders of the Moskva cruiser, is not among the dead and wounded and is included in the list of missing people. The conscript, who was not supposed to take part in the hostilities, is listed as missing. Guys, gone missing on the high seas?!
After my attempts to clarify the data on the incident, the cruiser commander and his deputy stopped communicating. I asked directly why you, officers, are alive, but my son, a conscript soldier, died?"
At the same time, the original post by Dmitry Shkrebets was deleted. Later, he posted the text again with the comment “Soon they will delete it again” and a call to copy it. Shortly thereafter, the original post became visible again, but then disappeared again.

Vilket gör det så beklämmande att människor som lever i sin egna fantasivärld och bubbla av önsketänk ska försöka vara med (mest för att sprida Kreml-propaganda, egentligen?) och diskutera vad som pågår i den faktiska verkligheten. För det är inte svårt att se:

Russian economy entering ‘difficult period’ – central bank
The country’s businesses will need to adapt to the sanctions reality
The Russian economy is entering a period of major adjustments to cope with the impact of the sanctions placed on Moscow by the US and its allies, Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the country’s central bank, says.
“Our economy is entering a difficult period of structural changes associated with sanctions. As I said, sanctions primarily affected the financial market, but now they will begin to increasingly affect the economy,” Nabiullina said, speaking in the State Duma on Monday.
According to the official, Russia still has reserves to support the economy, but they won’t be able to sustain it much longer, especially after roughly half of them were frozen abroad by sanctions.
“The period when the economy can live on reserves is over. And already in the second – beginning of the third quarter, we will enter a period of structural transformation and the search for new business models,” she said.
Nabiullina noted that while Russia still has the opportunity to use about half of its reserves (around $300 billion), these consist largely of gold, yuan, and IMF drawing rights, which is of no help in managing the situation with the currency on the domestic market.
The official praised the measures that Russia has already introduced to support the economy amid sanctions, including switching to its own financial messaging system, SPFS, after the country was cut off from SWIFT in March.

Mycket hårda ord från Elvira Nabiullina, chefen för Rysslands centralbank.
Det framgår ju att Putin nu tänker: - Vi såg det inte komma ?
Nej, det här kriget kanske var genomtänkt på något enstaka plan, men det är väldigt mycket som saknas i planeringen.
Att Ryska Centralbanken flaggar för svårare tider låter inte bra.
Det är ju rena vansinnet att bomba stålverk och andra fabriker, som de behöver ifall de ska kunna återstarta ekonomin.
Det är mycket troligt att Putin kan införa en ny kommunistisk planekonomi. Troligen för att undvika pris-ras eller pris-ökningar i alltför snabb takt.
Nationaliserar han viktiga områden med hänvisning till krigstillståndet så kan han åtminstone undvika totalt kaos.
Det är intressant det som andra ekonomer har skrivit om att oligarkekonomin i Ryssland nästan är som ett slags komplicerat pyramidspel. Putin har komplicerat sitt 3D, 4D, 5D eller 99D-schackspel alldeles för mycket.
Det finns också ett stort antal ryssar anställda som spioner i Chisinau, Moldavien

Ingen vet riktigt vad dessa spioner gör, men de arbetar tydligen på klassiskt KGB-vis, fast med moderna hjälpmedel:

Thus Chisinau became the European capital of Russian spies
Daniele Dell'Orco, Francesco Giubilei
APRIL 11, 2022
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, known as the SVR , is one of the spy agencies born from the ashes of the KGB. Despite the name change, however, its mission remains the same, namely to collect secret information from targets outside the Russian Federation and deliver it to the president. Since the epic of Vladimir Putin began in the Kremlin, one who knows a lot about espionage, his Russian intelligence headquarters, in Yasenevo , has tripled its airspace. A clear sign that with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russian spies did not retire, on the contrary, they had to reshape their way of working based on the new social and cultural contexts born in the 1990s, especially in the countries of the former Pact of Warsaw.
It is no great secret, for example, that Russia has been running a regional intelligence center in Sofia , Bulgaria, since Soviet times. The "Balkans Center" (or Center B) was, and for a time has even remained, the most important center from which the Soviet spy network throughout the Balkan Peninsula was directed.
Over the years and with the expansion of NATO eastward, however, the nerve center of the coordination of Russian agents has become that of Chisinau , the capital of Moldova. Or rather, those of Chisinau.
In the various sensitive points of the city used by Center B (villas, offices, apartments used with the coverage by landlords, local branches in Tiraspol, in Transnistria, etc.), from the north wing of the center of Yasenevo (the one delegated to the eastern dossiers Europe), more and more agents have been deployed, taking advantage of the strategic position that Moldova has acquired in the last 20 years: the external border of the European Union, a country close to the eastern front of NATO, a thorn in the side of western Ukraine.

Artikeln följer upp med att Chisinau är centrum för en mycket stor svindelhärva med tvättade pengar.
Och att SVR som innan hette KGB på kommunisttiden är en slags front för kriminella verksamheter i huvudsak byggd på att gömma och investera stora summor pengar.
SVR står inte riktigt för traditionell spioneri-verksamhet precis, utan något betydligt större ?
