Nemtsov’s brother: “Russia is losing the war. We need to halve Kherson"
The Russian Federation will face internal destabilization and inevitable turmoil.
This is the conclusion reached by Russian liberal sociologist and cousin of Boris Nemtsov, Igor Eidman, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Russia is losing the war against Ukraine and the hybrid confrontation with the West. In this situation, a new Russian unrest becomes almost inevitable,” Eidman writes in his Telegram channel.
In addition, he touched upon the topic of the announced decision to withdraw Russian troops from Kherson.
“The slogan “Fuck (sleep) with Russia forever” will now have to be edited, and the name of the city in it will have to be halved. The sweet DREAM of the revival of the Russian Empire dissipated near Kherson. The only thing left in Putin’s teeth forever is HER. It is with him in his mouth that he will go down in history, not only as a bloody dictator, but also as an incompetent, a loser and a loser,” the liberal sarcastically says.
However, ex-deputy of the Odessa City Council Igor Dimitriev believes that the situation around Kherson will not affect Putin’s rating.
“For several months they tried to persuade me that Kherson would definitely not be returned. Because leaving it will provoke some terrible consequences. Putin's authority will collapse, angry patriots will come out and overthrow the government and all that.
Now we’ll see: nothing will collapse, Putin’s authority is greater than the support of the SVO, and angry patriots greatly exaggerate their influence on society,” Dimitriev is convinced.
In turn, the famous Russian international political scientist, chairman of the presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, director of scientific work at the Foundation for Development and Support of the Valdai International Discussion Club, Fyodor Lukyanov, does not rule out that Russia may return to Kherson again.
“By leaving Kherson, Russia does not exclude it from the Constitution. The legal basis for new offensive actions in this region remains. This is a rather specific situation. De facto, a political decision is made under conditions that we do not know, we will not guess. De jure, nothing changes—for now,” Lukyanov believes.
At the same time, he rightly notes that questions may arise whether the empire will eventually move “in this manner one day closer to Bryansk.”
“Nobody knows this, it’s enough to state that it shows no signs of immobility and, most importantly, strength,” admits the international expert.
