Everyday that passes is a bit closer to the end. It is true for everybody.
From the article:
“**Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reign is now “closer to the end,” a Russian official who now faces conscription under the leader’s partial mobilization decree has said.**
Dmitry Baltrukov, 43, is one of many municipal deputies for Smolninskoe in St. Petersburg **who appealed to the country’s parliament last month to remove Putin from power on the charge of high treason over the Ukraine war.**
**The price: a 44,000 ruble ($758) fine for “discrediting” the Russian army, and now, the official has been ordered to enlist and serve in Ukraine, something he believes is a deliberate attempt to “get rid” of him**, given that he does not meet the defense ministry’s criteria to be drafted.
Baltrukov told Newsweek that **military enlistment office workers and policemen came to his home on Sunday**, where his mother was, **to hand him a summons, despite him having no military experience**. The deputy, who was on a business trip when authorities visited his home, said he ignored orders to appear at his local enlistment office on Monday at 9 a.m. local time.
**”At least one hundred thousand Russians voted ‘with their feet’ after leaving the country. I see a lot of words of support for my anti-war position,”** Baltrukov said.
**”But one must understand that there is an atmosphere of fear in Russia now. People speaking out against the war is extremely dangerous.”**
Baltrukov said **he sees “a clear trend” toward a decrease in support for the war Putin launched against Ukraine on February 24, amongst some Russians.”**
This guy might want to stay away from windows in tall buildings too.
It seems quite a few non believers in Puttin’s shenanigans have fallen out of those windows lately…
If you fear about the Black Volga in your whole life you will shut the fuck up until the end.
lol, logically, every day Putin’s remaining reign is one day shorter. It isn’t really a great comfort. Knowing it doesn’t end in nuclear holocaust would be a better thing to know, but… that’s unknowable.
And tomorrow is the first the day of the rest of Putin’s reign.
