For them, a demonstrative strike against the Kremlin is very beneficial in terms of attracting attention and mobilizing supporters

I studied different versions and chose the most logical one. So, the key versions: Ukraine, some Kremlin tower and guerrillas. I believe that the main version is the guerrilla one. And here's why.

Despite the fact that we already have drones capable of reaching the Kremlin, it was not logical to release them yesterday. Obviously, yesterday's strike was purely demonstrative and could not put Putin in danger. A few days ago, our drone was found near the technology park where Putin was supposed to be, which looks more like an assassination attempt. As for the demonstration, we should have done it on May 9, not yesterday. in this way it would have had more effect.

“The strike was purely demonstrative and could not put Putin in danger. A few days ago, our drone was found near the technology park where Putin was supposed to be, which looks more like an assassination attempt”

For the same reasons, it couldn't have been another Kremlin tower, the conventional opposition within Putin's government. Since the strike was a demonstration, it is clear that they would have been quickly detected and found. A Kremlin tower will strike at once with the goal of killing Putin and seizing power. In other cases, they will not manifest themselves.

This leaves the version voiced by Illya Ponomarov that guerrillas were behind it. Yesterday, there was another important news that stickers of the Russian Volunteer Corps, which have already been active in the Russian Federation, were found at the site of the train bombing. For them, a demonstrative strike against the Kremlin is very beneficial in terms of attracting attention and mobilizing supporters. Let me remind you that protest moods are growing very strongly in Russia, especially among young people, 80% of whom do not support the mobilization.

“Protest moods are growing very strongly in Russia, especially among young people, 80% of whom do not support the mobilization”

Back in the fall, I predicted that protest moods would gain momentum in the spring. But there are no Maidans in Russia. Everything goes like in tsarist times - protests will be expressed in terrorist attacks and splits in the ruling elite.

Subscribers mentioned another version - the Kremlin itself, to motivate people or to strike back. I do not believe this, because the damage from such a step is enormous. First of all, our morale is already at an all-time high, while theirs is at a low point. The fact that we can strike lowers it even more. Secondly, there are no successes at the front line, so such steps are more likely to motivate people to support the end of the war. Thirdly, the Kremlin does not need any preparation to strike at our "decision-making centers." Last March, they tried to kill our President and did not make any preparations for this. Therefore, this version has little chance.
