THREAD: An intriguing appointment
1. Russia's new commander of the so-called special military operation in #Ukraine, #SergeySurovikin, led at Moscow in August 1991 a military unit bloodily defending a #Soviet imperialist usurpation to preserve the empire.

2. His harshness (#Russian: #surovost') saved, however, neither the 1991 coup nor the #USSR. Rather, it hastened the #Soviet #collapse that year. Chances are that #Surovikin may now accomplish the same bloody trick for #Putin's #neoimperial project and the #RussianFederation.
