In his first interview with a British newspaper, Kaupo Rosin discusses Putin’s fractured inner circle and the looming threat against Nato
Putin is done
…Is the headline I’ve been reading for years. It’ll happen eventually, but reports of the downfall of Russia have been happening near daily for years
If anyone were able to closely predict when it would happen, they could make an incredible amount if money playing the markets
Things never happen, until they do.
The fall of the Soviet Union surprised literally EVERYBODY. When Russia crashes, it will be a total surprise.
That won’t keep people from making their own predictions, and acting like a genius if the surprise revolution just happens to occur soon after.
What a shit article, I don’t care about his “firmly gaze” and the absolute amount of fluff in here. This is what I found but I’m not reading it all.
“I do not see a street revolution happening at this point,” says Rosin. “More important is what people who have access to money, weapons and information – what do they think? In these circles, there is no more talk about total victory. People are discussing different scenarios, and mainly how to end this [war] in a proper way.”
Rosin adds: “But I would say, if something changes in Russia, then it will happen in a very rapid manner and we will all be surprised. It will be an overnight thing, if it ever happens.”
It’s the Telegraph. It was shit before Axel Springer bought it, and now it’s slightly different but no better shit.
Sounds more like a poor headline than a bad article to me. I thought the article itself was good.
No the article is absolutely full of fluff.
Don’t hold your breath and never trust a “spy chief”.

Yeah right. Putin is no where near being supplanted by his subordinates, and a peoples’ revolution is not in the cards. Things have to get really really bad for a peoples’ revolution, and with the tech out now, it’s doubtful a non organized mob could even pull it off.
Estonia’s spy boss is playing us, not sure why.
I read it as a call to action targeted at those who may want to and be able to assassinate Putin.
I think Russia was ready for it in 2023 when Prigozhin marched on Moscow - the lack of resistance was pretty startling. Sadly, his motivations weren’t liberating Russia, and we see how trusting Putin turned out for him.
Things have only gotten worse there since then.Not so much a prediction that it would happen, but if it did happen, there would be rapid change.
Yeah Prigozhin had it. Only a local militia was standing with putin, everyone else abandoned him. Probably all fell out of windows since.
I was really excited when I heard about his march, he looked like a total badass then he just gives up.
Dream on. They were cowardly sheep when the Tsar was the ruler, they were sheep when the communist were in charge, and they still are.
Huh? But they overthrew the Tsar. What do you mean by that?
And then Bolsheviks killed the people who overthrew the tsar, and installed their own dictatorship.
The “revolution” of 1905 deserves mention. The unions went on strike, the tsar crushed them, all the other unions came out in protest. The tsar had to agree on constitutional reforms, making the duma.
Sure he then promptly had the duma liquidated after their first session, killing or sending them to gulags, presumably because they were being insolent. But the strikes started back up, there were another round of concessions.
It’s in this super old book from like 1915 or so, written by Tolstoy and someone else if I recall, they are short accounts in that book on varied subjects, maybe 40 pages or so on this.
It’s sad because the authors were all hopeful and optimistic, in no uncertain terms speaking of a new dawn for Russia. Right before the world caught on fire in WW1, in which, what was it, 5 milliom mostly russian peasants and city urchins died under Russia’s always bad military leadership.
True but I don’t think the early Russian revolutionaries were sheep. Decades of totalitarianism shaped them into that.
So no different from any other country in the world
Not really. Don’t the French periodically riot in Paris and set cars on fire?
And January 6th was a bad thing and trump is evil. but for the people involved they thought they were part of a revolution. So they did do something. It was just the wrong thing.
Russians have done that and have been sent to jail for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-war_protests_in_Russia_(2022–present)
In small numbers. The majority support Putin.
And I know that because I know someone who is currently in Russia taking care of her elderly mother. She goes there every summer. When she comes back each year we talk.
The majority go along to get along. There are no other viable options. That is the danger we face here. With no viable options, we are stuck.
Eesti luure om putsis tbf. Ärge uskuge teda.
The author should be fired for suggesting such lies.
It is a rather dumbass/dishonest title, I didn’t read the article because the title destroyed the author’s credibility already.
