When you’ve been in power for 25 years and still can’t trust the people closest to you, that’s not strength — that’s the definition of a fragile system

It is the classic dictator trap playing out in real time. You spend twenty years building an inner circle composed entirely of corrupt oligarchs and cutthroat intelligence officers, and then act surprised when you suddenly can’t trust any of them!
The fact that Putin is now terrified of his own military high command (well, specifically Shoigu) organizing a drone strike against him shows exactly how fractured the Kremlin is right now. When you start throwing your top generals into prison on “embezzlement” charges just to keep them in line, you are practically begging for a coup.
Also, the detail about them scaling back the Victory Day parade again because they are scared of Ukrainian drone strikes is absolutely humiliating. The entire point of the Red Square parade is to project invincible military strength to the Russian public. Having to cancel the heavy armor display for the fifth year in a row because you are afraid Kyiv is going to bomb it tells the Russian elite everything they need to know about how badly this war is actually going.

How would the population react to a coup? Could an improvement in the overall situation (Ukraine war, economic downturn) be expected? Does anyone have independent knowledge of the domestic political situation in Russia?

I mean who would try to overthrow him?
Who would be that Brezhnev ?

The big question for me is one the article touches on, namely why someone has chosen to leak this now:
>Given its release may be aimed at destabilizing the Kremlin, it is notable that the European intelligence service would at the same time effectively forewarn the Kremlin of a possible coup.

Must be exhausting to live in constant fear. If I were him, I’d just resign.

the country turning on him, ukraine making consistent progress in getting russia out of their country and attacking russia to weaken them, kremlin constantly censoring everything getting closer and closer to north korea’s level. russia is closer to defeat than victory

Lately, I’ve noticed several attempts on Trump’s life, and one on the Slovak prime minister.
So maybe Putin genuinely has reason to fear an assassination attempt as well.

I hope he lives in fear for the rest of his hopefully very short life.

If true, it shows how much internal pressure and security concerns can build up during prolonged conflicts.

What If generals and oligs just stop taking orders from Putin?

It will be fascinating if Putin gets taken out while Trump is in office. He will not take it well.

And is the source on this Ukraine? I’ve been hearing of such reports for some time including that Kadyrov is no more.

Who cares. Even if he is dead, nothing will change. Russia won’t magically transform over a week.
