Yes, they are. Russian economy is sinking fast burdened with rampage corruption and mismanagement. Putin and his cronies steal billions directly from country’s budget like there is no tomorrow. Young generation has no future in Russia and they know it. Putin alienated Russia from the West and plays friends with all murderous regimes – from Venezuela to Myanmar. Death squads are poisoning opposition leaders. It took Navalny just a few months and a huge personal sacrifice to change a national perception of Putin from geopolitical genius to a thief and murderer. Putin is already an international pariah.
I don’t know what will be the last straw that will cause a popular uprising and regime change – Chernobyl-like disaster, Syria or Ukraine war quagmire or economic hardships but wrath is already there.
