This is Sergey, a 19-year-old Russian conscript. He refuses to fight in Ukraine, and warns that any contract 'signed' by him would be coerced.

🧵 Sergey is far from alone — [1/8]
In Moscow—a city Putin has long sought to shield from the impact of the war—the military is rounding up so-called draft dodgers at Metro stations, using facial recognition technology.

[2/8]
They refuse to serve because they know they could be coerced into signing a contract—potentially facing torture if they refuse—which is a tactic to make their deployment to the frontlines seem voluntary.

If you had any illusions about Putin's rule and his war, look at this: a regular Russian school.

A boy in tactical gear stands while classmates kick him; his peers were shown photos of corpses and not allowed to call parents.

1/5🧵(Read on)
This happened in Belgorod, a city near Ukraine. Men in military uniforms gathered ninth-graders in the auditorium, took away their phones and forbade them from calling parents.

[2/5]
In what was supposed to be a first-aid training session, students were made to practice with non-sterile tourniquets until their limbs turned blue. One boy had his carotid artery compressed. He lost consciousness and required resuscitation.

Is Putin's grip on power weaker than it seems?

I believe so. A single misstep could be his last.

🧵 Here're his top 3 vulnerabilities

[1/12]
1. Putin’s power structure is a careful balancing act.

Like many dictators, he skillfully uses support from the lower levels of society as a tool to intimidate and control his own inner circle. This keeps the elites in line, but this system only works while he is healthy and can manage it effectively.

[2/12]
2. There's no coming back from making a mistake.

If he loses his grip on power even for a second, he won't be able to go back to holding power as he did in 2012. He cannot repeat that maneuver because the time has changed, any loss would be irreversible.

Expressing nuclear fears is normal for most people, but in Putin's Russia, it can lead to being forcibly injected with tranquilizers in a psychiatric ward.

🧵 The case of Oleg Savvin reveals the return of Soviet-style punitive psychiatry

[1/8] Image
Oleg Savvin was arrested in Kaliningrad in March for allegedly spreading 'fake news' about the army after he posted on criticizing Putin's aggression and speculating about the global consequences of a nuclear explosion.

[2/8]vk.com
Since July, Savvin has been held in a psychiatric clinic and forced to undergo completely unnecessary treatment, even though the investigation into his post legally ended over a month ago.

Putin attacks the Russian Antiwar Committee for creating a platform for dialogue with PACE because he knows what we've proven:

🧵 Russians deserve legitimate representation, and we're delivering it

[1/6] Image
The claims being pushed about the Russian Antiwar Committee by the FSB are obviously false and patently absurd. At the same time, they demonstrate that our efforts have clearly hit a raw nerve with Putin

[2/6]
For the record – no, the committee is not plotting to overthrow the regime through violent means, and no, it has not been funding and recruiting Ukrainian paramilitary units

One of Putin's closest allies didn't quit for "personal reasons" or his alleged war opposition.

🧵$300M blown on elections in Moldova might have something to do with it

(Read on)Image

As Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kremlin, Dmitry Kozak oversaw the post-Soviet space. An ethnic Ukrainian, he led Russia's negotiations on Donbas for years. His departure coincided with the crushing defeat of pro-Kremlin forces in Moldova's elections.

[2/8]
$300 million. That's how much Putin poured into Moldova's tiny elections. $300 million flushed down the drain as voters rejected the Kremlin's message.
