Russian President Vladimir Putin does not pay attention to the losses of his own army. But there are still things related to the occupiers that he is afraid of.

Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko told Channel 24 about this, commenting on minor manifestations of dissatisfaction by the wives of the mobilized occupiers. They are annoyed that their husbands are not allowed to leave the front line. It is interesting that the Kremlin has not yet responded to this, although they could easily put out everything right away.

What is Putin afraid of?

As Yakovenko emphasized, the FSB could well “visit” the mobilized wives and intimidate them so that there would be no protests. But such actions could lead to worse consequences for the regime. Therefore, they are probably not touched for now.

I think that videos of any repressive actions against women would quickly appear at the front. The only thing Putin is afraid of is a repeat of the situation that happened in 1917. Then the soldiers crawled out of the trenches and stopped fighting, after which the Russian empire collapsed. If the occupiers see that their wives are being treated this way, then something might start,” Yakovenko believes.

Of course, this can only happen under certain circumstances. But Putin really fears that the occupiers will turn against him. This could threaten the Kremlin.

The situation in Russia: briefly

• The wives of Russian conscripts complain that their husbands are not returned from the front. On November 7, they even held a 5-minute picket in Moscow.
• Now they have organized a flash mob. Women put stickers on their cars saying they are “tired.”
• As of November 28, Russia had lost more than 326 thousand personnel. And on November 27, this figure increased by another 860 units.
