"Something Deeply Wrong With Russia": Kremlin Biggest Loyalists Purged En Masse - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

In today’s episode we dive into the brutal reality of what’s happening inside Putin’s Russia. Something deeply wrong is unfolding as the Kremlin purges its biggest loyalists en masse. This is not about silencing opposition or cracking down on dissidents—it’s about devouring the very people who once defended, worshipped, and bled for the system. From Donetsk to Moscow, from frontline veterans to founding figures of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, loyalty has turned into a curse.

We explore the heartbreaking story of Elena Golikova, a medic who believed in the DPR only to have her apartment stolen by the same regime she helped build. We uncover the tragedy of Aleksandr Obukhov, a crippled veteran whose mother was banned from Russia despite her years of zealous campaigning for Putin’s dream. We expose how even high-profile figures like Pavel Gubarev’s family are not spared—exiled, blacklisted, and humiliated for absurd reasons like a WhatsApp flag.

The purge is systematic. The Kremlin’s policy of betrayal shows that loyalty is worthless currency in modern Russia. The regime punishes its own not by accident but by design, turning loyalists into targets to terrify the rest. It’s a mafia-style state where obedience guarantees nothing, fear is the true currency of power, and the house always wins.

This episode uncovers how Putin’s Russia has hollowed itself out by consuming its own foundation. From property seizures to political exiles, from veterans discarded like trash to zealous activists destroyed by the very state they served, the message is clear: no one is safe. A system that eats its own cannot last forever, and history teaches us that the collapse is inevitable. The only question left is how many loyalists will be sacrificed before the Kremlin finally chokes on its own paranoia.
