@gho1989 sent me a DM with some great questions, and I want to relay our conversation here. He asked who might be in line after #Putin, in case of an accident or “accident” befalling the Russian leader, and the prospects of insider regime change in Russia.
This ties in with another topic of interest, @mtaibbi’s Substack column on Putin’s rise in 90s Russia and the connivance of Western interests in his political advance. Taibbi knows Russia, having started as a journalist in Moscow for an alt-weekly: taibbi.substack.com/p/putin-the-ap…
The piece is good, especially with the detail work on the corruption and blackmail that served as the main channel of political competition in Yeltsin’s “democratic” Russia, and the Western profiteering that enabled it.
