This is something: former state duma deputy suggesting that either Russia needs to go at full scale war including mobilization or peace talks live on Russian TV, because Russia failed. And telling a lot of painful truths about it in between.

Now I really wonder how long it will take until he is falling out of a window...

Breaking news: according to Reuters Ukraine offered shortly before the Russian invasion Putin to not enter NATO as peace deal, but Putin rejected it and pressed ahead his military campaign.

Those Lebensraum teachers in the freshly liberated areas were apparently left behind by the fleeing Russian troops and promptly arrested by Ukrainian forces. Now they face lengthy prison sentences for their role in this attempted genocide.

It are rough times to be a member of the inner circles around Vladimir.
You can expect the unexpected from the inside of these circles if you don't bow enough, as well as from the outside (the underground opposition) if you bow too much.

Yeah, well the most interesting question for us is: will somebody try to assassinate Putin? And if this happens successfully, what will come next?

Russia was never a democracy as we know them in Europe.
It was always lead by strong rulers with a small inner circle of influential (rich) people backing them up in return for favors.
There is no real structural opposition that could take over and organize free elections.
So most likely the harsh corrupt ruler will be replaced by the next one in that case IMHO.
