Путинская система рушится медленно, но необратимо?

Putin's system won't necessarily collapse like in disaster movies—with queues, collapse, and instantaneous implosion. But it is already crumbling: through the erosion of institutions, the disappearance of rules, the redistribution of property, a closed economy, and perpetual war without a clear goal. In this episode, Alexandra Prokopenko, an expert at the Carnegie Center and author of "Accomplices: Why the Russian Elite Chose War," explains why war has become a dead end for Russia without a vision of the future, what's happening within the Russian elite, whether Putin controls the system, why life in Russia will get worse, and whether the Kremlin can sell the public "victory without victory."
