Autumn of President Putin, or why does he need CrimeaNASH again?

In Khabarovsk again crowds of thousands of protesters against the Moscow authorities. Yes, yes - these are demonstrations against the Moscow authorities. Furgal is only a trigger here, while the deep currents of such protests are dissatisfaction with Putin personally and the actions of the central government, which obviously the residents of the regions do not consider their own. Therefore, it is very funny when the Nightingale says that the collapse of Russia is impossible. They say Russians live everywhere, which means that the scenario of the collapse of the Russian Federation is absolutely unrealistic. Why, then, are the residents of Khabarovsk indignant that Muscovites have come and taken their appanage prince to the capital? Again, what about the collapse of the Roman Empire? Where did everyone speak the same language? But if the discussion of the disintegration of Russia is the tenth thing, and is not yet on the agenda, then what is happening in Khabarovsk today is just qualitatively shaping a new reality Kommersant English But if the discussion of the disintegration of Russia is the tenth thing, and is not yet on the agenda, then what is happening in Khabarovsk today is just qualitatively shaping a new reality But if the discussion of the disintegration of Russia is the tenth thing, and is not yet on the agenda, then what is happening in Khabarovsk today is just qualitatively shaping a new reality First, as I said, the reasons for a new revolution or coup, as you wish, will definitely be the actions of the authorities themselves. She will do something that will trigger events. It would seem that some kind of Furgal, who knew him in central Russia a couple of weeks ago? And here you go. Thousands of people have been going out to the square every day for a week, protesting against his arrest, and his name has already been heard by almost everyone in Russia and abroad. And pay attention, there are no violent dispersals, as in Moscow. It's one thing to scare a bunch of intellectuals with sticks, and another thing to get out to disperse 50 thousand people. Moreover, the absolute impunity of the protests in Khabarovsk is a self-replicating action. Unless Putin finds a solution that suits the protesters, he has no good way out of this situation. Allowing the protests to develop further, hoping that they will get bored, is the matter, because what if suddenly you don't get bored? Disperse by force, you can run into a merciless Russian revolt Therefore, an extremely dangerous situation is being created before our eyes. If you remember, at the end of 2011 in 2012 in Moscow were the largest protests against election fraud. If the immediate reason for those mass rallies was the elections, the main reasons were the 2008 crisis and the fall in the living standards of Russians. The same is happening now. The popularity of the authorities and Putin personally is falling, and it falls absolutely naturally. f the government has not changed for decades, then there is no need to wait for any reforms, and all the failures in the economy are absolutely legitimately associated with one person, the one who is the head of state. And if in 2012, Putin managed to turn the tide, change the agenda with the help of patriotic fervor, which was expressed in our Crimea, then what can you think of now? And this is nonsense that KrymNASH absolutely definitely worsened the country's macroeconomic prospects, he definitely changed the current agenda, and at least gave Putin a break.The problem is that Putin is a great tactician but a lousy strategist. He wins battles but loses wars. And what is starting to happen now in Russia is an increase in the protest movement, this is a direct consequence of losing the war. And Putin absolutely definitely needs a new battle and a new victory. Otherwise, he will simply lose absolutely everything. Nobody knows what it will be. But something will be for sure. At the same time, Furgal is a special case, because Putin will not stop imprisoning governors and other officials. There will be other reasons for protest. They will definitely be. President Putin's fall has begun.
