I don't see evidence #Putin is in trouble yet, but there is something different about dissatisfaction and protest this time. A quick thread on #Russia🧵 I've argued over the years that prior waves of dissatisfaction and protest lacked something critical: universality. 2012 was geographically concentrated, trucker protests dispersed, environmental protests inherently local, Navalny protests limited demographically, etc.
