Putin might want to rethink his warning about this being like 1917 in Russia.
@georgetakei Either Putin smashes Wagner in the next 24 hours or so, or Russia will dissolve into civil war. Either way, Russia isn't going to have the military resources to maintain their invasion of Ukraine for much longer.

Do average Russians even care who's in charge? I'm not getting the feeling they even want to stick around and find out who wins.

Can't say I blame them.

@VHasch @georgetakei You can best sum up the general Russian attitude to everything in one of their sayings: “both are worse”. It’s the most negative, nihilistic culture I’ve ever encountered.

They went from a feudal monarchy to socialism to communism to dictatorship to (sort of) capitalism in less than one century. On top of that, two brutal international wars, an even bloodier protracted revolution and the iron fist of Stalin.

Can't blame them for seeing vodka as the most stable thing in the country.
