The Kremlin has a plan for the Armenian NGOs left stranded after USAID's collapse: take them over.

Leaked documents obtained by @dossier_center show it's just one piece of Moscow's effort to derail Armenia's pivot to the West 🧵[1/21] Image
Dossier Center has obtained internal Kremlin-linked strategy documents showing how Russian political consultants have been trying to influence Armenia's election by building, from nothing, an entire ecosystem of opposition to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

[2/21]
Publicly, Putin claims (of course) Moscow doesn't interfere in Armenian politics. Privately, Kremlin-linked consultants coordinated polling, messaging, coalition planning, media operations, and campaign strategy to weaken Pashinyan and halt Armenia's pivot to the West.

"I am ashamed, but I gave up. Please forgive me."

Those were the closing lines of a note left by Nina Litvinova, 80, before she stepped out of a window in Moscow.

🧵Read her story Image
Nina Litvinova was born in Moscow in 1945 into one of the most consequential Soviet families. Her grandfather Maxim Litvinov ran Stalin's foreign ministry in the 1930s and served as ambassador to Washington during the war. He was Jewish and an open anti-fascist.

[2/16]
Stalin pushed him out in 1939 to clear the way for the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. After the war, when Litvinov warned American journalists that Moscow would soon turn on the West, Stalin recalled him.

He died in 1951 with a loaded revolver by his bed — an "insurance policy" against the secret police.

Putin has chosen Britain as his number one enemy. His agents are already inside the UK, preparing to strike.

🧵Here are the three tools the Kremlin will use — and why he won't stop. [1/13]
Putin is a gangster, and he perceives someone else's weakness as an invitation to attack them.

Today, for Putin, Europe is a weak opponent.

[2/13]
Russia has chosen the UK as its main enemy, marking it up as the force that stands behind everything that opposes Russia.

Putin is scared.

His "fortress" is cracking and half his decrees are now secret — so Russians can't see how badly the regime is failing.

Here's what he's hiding 👇 [1/11] Image
There have been no precedents to this blackout in modern history. In 2023, Putin set a record: 49.5% of presidential decrees were secret. Even last year, almost 45% of his orders remain hidden from public view. Half of the Russian government's actions are now officially "invisible."

[2/11]
What gets classified tells you what they fear. Examples:

➜ The "Cannibal Battalions": Secret decrees likely mask the mass pardoning of murderers and rapists sent to the front. The state calls them heroes but keeps the paperwork hidden because the public would revolt.

State-run pollster in Russia have published a noticeable drop in Putin's approval.

Last week, Russia's economy minister stood up and admitted the country's reserves are largely gone.

🧵Let's take a look at what it all could mean: [1/14]
The trigger appears to be the continued economic downturn. GDP is down 1.8%, with industry and construction also weakening.

Even more strikingly, the economy minister has admitted that a large share of Russia's reserves has already been used up. Putin has demanded answers.



[2/14]finance.yahoo.com/economy/articl…
On the surface, this looks like a standard economic story. But in Russia, this is a major departure from the norm.

The country has been through far worse without public acknowledgement from the top. So when criticism appears, it usually serves a political function.

Imagine this: A major disaster hits your country. People are dying, cities are burning, the environment is ruined. You look to your national leader for a plan, but they've nowhere to be found.

Sounds unlikely? In Putin's Russia, it's an everyday reality. In 26 years in power, he has vanished every time the nation is in pain. [1/16]

Right now, in Russia's Tuapse, it's literally raining oil. After drone strikes, black soot covers the city, animals are dying, and a 10,000 sq m slick is spreading in the Black Sea. And the president is radio silent.

[2/16]
Residents are choking on benzene levels three times the limit and desperately asking, "Where is Putin?" Well, while Tuapse faces an ecological disaster he is busy renaming his alma mater after Dzerzhinsky (the Cheka founder) and meeting the President of the Seychelles.
