Putin’s Guards Just Took Control of Moscow

Vladimir Putin’s internal security apparatus is mounting a silent coup inside the Kremlin walls. Led by former bodyguard Viktor Zolotov, Rosgvardia and the FSB are seizing control from civilian elites, regional governors, and business leaders. Armed with tanks inside Moscow and capitalizing on growing instability, these security chiefs are stripping authority from political managers to secure absolute domestic dominance. Facing severe budget deficits and devastating Ukrainian strikes on critical infrastructure, such as Wildberries logistics hubs, Russia’s security chiefs are moving to indefinitely delay September’s parliamentary elections. Political managers like Sergey Kiriyenko are pushing back, but the security faction is leveraging wartime martial law and widespread racketeering to seize dwindling state reserves and dictate the regime's economic survival. With military losses mounting and forced prisoner recruitment triggering severe domestic backlash, the battle for Russia's post-Putin era has officially begun. As intelligence agencies, internal security forces, and the regular military turn against one another, Putin’s house of cards is rapidly collapsing from within.
