Signs of fear in the Kremlin leader have been identified.
The Russian dictator is growing increasingly nervous due to successful strikes by Ukrainian drones, which are hitting the very heart of Russia, undermining the economy and exacerbating the fuel shortage. Fearing for his own safety, Putin has begun to avoid traveling to regions that drones could potentially reach, according to the British publication Daily Star.
During a recent visit to Kazan, entire streets were blocked off, and the use of electric scooters was banned. In addition, for the safety of the frightened Russian president, the internet was shut down for the duration of his stay in the city.
A similar scenario played out during a stop in Siberia: local residents were “treated” to cheap gasoline, but only while Putin was in the region—as soon as his plane took off, fuel prices immediately skyrocketed.
At the same time, within the country, the Kremlin is unleashing a new wave of repression against anyone who dares to criticize the government. At least 23 politicians have been barred from participating in the upcoming parliamentary elections, and many of them have been jailed on charges of allegedly displaying “extremist” symbols.
Even long-standing representatives of the so-called “systemic opposition” have been forced to flee. Russian political veteran Boris Nadezhdin, whom the regime had tolerated for a long time, left the country after receiving threats to his personal safety. The Yabloko Party—the only one openly opposing the war—is now under threat of being completely banned.
Against this backdrop, an alarmed Putin is granting the FSB unprecedented powers—just as Ukraine is effectively bringing the war to Moscow’s doorstep. For example, a recent explosion at a restaurant on Kudrinskaya Square claimed the lives of five people, and one of Russia’s leading drone manufacturers was seriously injured in a car bomb attack.
