"Russian Spring" begins to devour its children
They experience nervous swings, "vsio prapala" (everything is screwed), incoherent twitches, absurd chaos and a search for the guilty
Russians are simply nervous about a Ukrainian counteroffensive, turning on some invisible self-devouring machine. Fear is growing, gaining gigantic proportions, and seems to have begun to penetrate all the pores of this mad Leviathan.
And now it turns out that the skin of this crocodile is not so rough. Because inside he is like a hedgehog - pink, soft and smelly. And - oh God! - defenseless... He doesn't feel guilty and will never feel it, but something similar to the fear of responsibility for what he has done awakens in him. That is why they are thrown alternately into the heat of nuclear war, into the cold of crushing defeat and disintegration, into whiny and capricious states in the style of some Prilepin. This happens because the most sensitive of them now either understand or guess: neither Putin, nor Russian Christ (tm), nor a nuclear bomb, nor even far away comrade Xi will protect them.
This is where the so-called "law of the boomerang" comes into play. Newton's first law, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and international law in general may not apply in Russia, but the fact is that the boomerang was invented long ago and not in the West. There are fundamentals that existed in this world long before the tablets of Moses. For example, blind fate and invisible revenge.

"An uninvited sickness has come to the house,” they finally begin to suspect: "the Russian Spring" is beginning to devour its children. Because now they don't know where to run and where to hide. Now they have a nervous swing, "vsio prapala" (eng. everything is screwed), incoherent twitching, absurd chaos and a search for the guilty.
And the novelty of the situation is that the one who has been appointing the guilty for the past 23 years is slowly becoming the guilty one himself. Slowly, but surely.
The events in Russia resemble the plot of some crazy pornographic thriller: the fairy-tale hero managed to excite everyone, but ultimately did not satisfy anyone. Moreover, the number of dissatisfied and offended people will only multiply among these "underground men," some of whom will continue to die on the frontlines by inertia, while others will drive their resentment of the whole world into all possible crevices of their trampled souls through incessant resentment and constant oscillations between the status of rulers of the world and the status of pariahs of the same world.
“So when Russia awakens one morning with a mop by Putin's ass and the whole "great country" dressed in mourning, they will experience such breakdowns that the living will envy the dead”
So when Russia awakens one morning with a mop by Putin's ass and the whole "great country" dressed in mourning, they will experience such breakdowns that the living will envy the dead. It will be farcical and funny, but still Stalinism, because slipping into the lowest of low in their situation is the easiest of paths. It requires no resources, no effort, no strategy, no state wisdom. Inertia, apathy, and fear are enough.
I think that if things continue like this, not all members of the top leadership of the Russian Federation will live to see a real Ukrainian counteroffensive, whenever it starts. We should also not forget that the Victory day is coming - the first and last sacred thing for this entire tribe, which is breaking down in these fateful times. Russia will need a sacrificial victim, a guilty person, the personification of the defeat of the last year. I would not be surprised if... And don't be surprised either.
Fear will grow along with the “hooray for patriotism” insanity. An incredible cocktail - suspicion, fear, and exhilaration. And the Ukrainian counteroffensive on May 9.
