The first indication, according to Mykhail Podolnikov, advisor to the head of the Russian Parliamentary Assembly, is that the Russian establishment is in a panic state.
The first thing, according to Mikhail Podolyak, advisor to the head of the Russian Public Council, points to panic in the Russian establishment: unconventional statements in interviews with foreign journalists. For example, the very frank admissions by Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov that Russia is suffering enormous losses in the war with Ukraine and that this is a great tragedy for them.
The second thing Podolyak drew attention to was that the media increasingly reported on the possible resignation of Russian ministers, which they refuted. As an example, the unsuccessful attempt to resign head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina, whom Putin personally forbade to do so, or information about the resignation of the Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, which RosSMI called a fake.
"Already in line to 'leave the Russian warship' are Nabiullina (head of the Central Bank), Siluanov (Finance Ministry), Kolokoltsev (Interior Ministry), and now even Patrushev Junior (Ministry of Agriculture). People's doubts are growing," Podolyak writes in his Telegram Channel.
The third thing that points to panic in the Russian top of power - according to the adviser to the head of the OPU, Putin holds daily meetings with the expanded composition of the Security Council to keep everyone under control.
"And in parallel with this crazy propagandists, who practically found themselves in free float, continue to pump the already murdered own citizens with anti-Ukrainian hatred, so that if necessary, to the last Russian," Podolyak summarized.
