What Parts of the Political System Has Putin Already Lost Control Over? And Who Will Fill This Vacuum?

What parts of the political system has Putin already lost control over? And who will fill this vacuum? We talk with Alexandra Prokopenko and Andrey Pertsev

In recent weeks, quite a few publications have come out about the crisis of the Russian political system, Putin’s weakness, and a possible elite conspiracy. Why are analysts once again talking about the regime’s instability? What signs of Putin’s weakness can be noticed? And why is the replacement of governors in the border regions another stress test for the system?

These issues are discussed by Alexandra Prokopenko, a fellow at the Carnegie Berlin Center, and Meduza special correspondent Andrey Pertsev.
