So Putin has had his opposition die in a plane crash with Prigozhin’s death and all the others with him on the flight. What a Medieval man he is in the worst sense of the word. I fear for the future when someone that ruthless rules a vast country. It is becoming more and more alarming for the rest of us.

There was a very interesting interview on R4 yesterday with former Prime Minister of Russia - Mikhail Kasyanov - and now a Putin opponent.

I have tried to find a link without success, but he gave a very nuanced view on what is happening. He does not see Putin being ousted for yet awhile, but he consider that his position is getting more dangerous and unstable. he gave him another 2 years, but not much more.

Another 2 years!!! I hope not but if and when he does go, will someone even worse replace him?
