In October 2002, Putin sacrificed 130 Russian civilians to prevent an opposition leaders from gaining popularity.

🧵This wasn't a mistake - it was a preview of how his regime would operate. Here's what happened: Image
Image
When terrorists seized Moscow's Dubrovka theater with 912 hostages inside, opposition leader Boris Nemtsov and Moscow's mayor Luzhkov attempted negotiations to free women, children, and the elderly - until Putin asked them to stop Image
Putin personally intervened - not to help save lives, but to stop these negotiations. His chief of staff later admitted why: Putin feared Nemtsov's approval ratings would rise if he successfully freed the hostages.

Under Kadyrov's control, Mariupol's steel plants are being gutted and sold for scrap. Here's how Putin's favorite warlord profits from occupation 1/9 Image
2/9 Kadyrov’s men have plundered the city’s two steel mills – Azovstal and Ilyich Iron and Steel Works – stripping them of millions of dollars' worth of equipment and scrap metal, which is shipped to Russia wsj.com/world/russia/r…
3/9 Mariupol’s mayor Vadym Boychenko, who has been exiled from the city since it was invaded, says the materials are being used by Russian companies to produce cars and trucks

Meet Ilan Shor, the Kremlin’s new favorite oligarch in Moldova.

This fugitive tycoon, convicted in the "theft of the century", is now at the center of unprecedented meddling in Moldova's pivotal elections.

1/9 Here’s what we know about him, thanks to @dossier_center Image
2/9 Shor made his first millions running duty-free shops in Chisinau. Then, remarkably, at just 24 years old with zero banking experience, he became chairman of Moldova's largest bank - Banca de Economii.
3/9 From this position, he engineered what Moldovans call "the theft of the century." Through a web of fraudulent loans, he stole $1 billion from three banks. It was an unprecedented scale: 12% of Moldova's entire GDP vanished overnight.

France just broke a crucial barrier for Russian deserters.

For the first time ever, an EU country has welcomed soldiers without papers - and it could change everything about Putin's war.

🧵Here's why this matters: Image
Since the invasion, several European countries have – to varying degrees – made it very difficult for Russian citizens to escape the country and avoid being dragged into Putin’s war machine
The Netherlands, for example, stopped granting visas to Russians in 2022, while Norway recently denied the asylum claim of a military-aged man on the basis that Putin claimed mobilization was over

Soviet psychiatry was notorious for being weaponized against political dissidents.

Now, Putin is reviving this practice, with nearly 50 sane critics currently subjected to forced "treatment".

Here are the stories of some of them: Image
Think about that. People are being sent for "treatment" under the "fake news" law. In other words, they're being declared mentally disabled for telling the truth about the war, for disagreeing with the regime.
It's is a monstrous practice. People are beaten, humiliated, pumped full of personality-destroying substances. The goal is not just to isolate, but to completely break a person. And while a prison sentence eventually ends, "treatment" can go on indefinitely.

Complete collapse of law and order. Putin was already recruiting convicts to fight his war in Ukraine. Now, he’s expanded that to anyone facing charges.

🧵Both short and long-term consequences of this will be catastrophic. A closer look: Image
As of this month, anybody charged with a crime in Russia can sign a contract with the Defense Ministry in exchange for the charges being dropped, under a law signed by Putin last Wednesday.

What does this mean? washingtonpost.com/world/2024/10/…
In the short term, it means the Russian army is going to get a numbers boost. Convicts were already being sent to the front, so given the choice between going to war, and going to war with a criminal record, people will tend to choose the former
