Russians lose faith in Putin - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
Russia is facing mounting internal strain as public frustration and elite unease converge. In this episode, we examine how Vladimir Putin’s internet crackdown has triggered a broader backlash throughout society. From declining approval ratings to quiet resistance within technocratic circles, the pressure on the Kremlin is becoming increasingly complex.
We break down why this moment is different from previous crises and why the system may be less adaptable than before. We also discuss what this means for Russia’s stability as the war in Ukraine drags on.
