How weakened is Putin’s regime? And what challenges exactly does it face? We speak with political scientists John Lough and Nikolay Petrov, authors of a study on the threats to Putinism

In 2026, several publications on threats to Putinism came out at once: supposedly, Putin fears an assassination attempt against himself and is afraid of a coup that could be launched by Russian elites.

Then under what conditions will Putinism collapse? We discuss it with John Lough and Nikolay Petrov, senior research fellows at NEST Centre.
