Not an economic collapse: what will really lead to the collapse of Putin's regime Anzhelika Galesevich

Problems in the Russian economy can indeed lead to the collapse of the Putin regime, but this is a rather long process. There is a more optimal option – to put pressure on Russia from three sides.

First of all, they talk about the destruction of Russian soldiers at the front and war criminals on enemy territory. The third method, as political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman explained to Channel 24, depends on the civilized world.

Why the scenario of the collapse of the USSR does not suit Russia

According to Sheitelman, the decline of the economy is a long process that quite abruptly and unexpectedly leads to an uprising of the masses, but not according to plan. It will not be like, “we have become 3% worse off, let's overthrow Putin.” It is necessary for 1917 to repeat itself, when bread ran out in St. Petersburg. Only after that can the revolution begin.

The Soviet Union collapsed, in particular, only 10 years after the onset of economic problems. In 1979, people stood in lines for butter, in 1981 – for eggs. Coupons appeared in 1989, and in 1991 the USSR collapsed.

In Russia's case, you first need to provoke a deficit, then coupons and, ultimately, collapse. What is important is that the Soviet Union did not wage a full-scale war. In Afghanistan, it lost only 15 thousand soldiers over 10 years. At the same time, the Russians lose the same number of soldiers in 2 weeks.

The main thing is to put pressure on Russia, and this will lead to the collapse of Putin's regime. There are three ways to achieve this:

• military forces that beat the enemy at the front;
• special forces that kill the Kremlin's “top brass”;
• sanctions from international partners.

The Times writes that Kirillov's liquidation is a positive development that will create serious tension between Putin and other generals and, in general, difficulties for the regime, noted Mikhail Sheitelman.

If we press hard, Putin will be overthrown in a year. If less, such a joyful event will happen in 10 years.
