What if 1000 zinc caskets arrive in Moscow simultaneously…

The wave of complaints, which is spreading in Russia after the New Year's elimination of 600 mobilized from Samara in Makiivka, Ukraine, demonstrates that despite the totalitarian tendencies, in the conditions of modern information technology, the Kremlin regime is not able to completely control the information space beyond the TV. Moreover, it is forced to react to the crisis situation through the same TV.

This is aggravated by the fact that outside the centrally moderated TV broadcasts, the Kremlin does not have a monopoly on setting the agenda. Modern information network tools are used by rival power actors - political and power clans - to fight with each other and impose an information agenda on society, and hence on the Kremlin, in order to persuade the power center to make certain political decisions.

“The Kremlin does not have a monopoly on setting the agenda”

The destruction of the Russian deployment place in Makiivka, especially since such a large number of soldiers was eliminated simultaneously, should be considered a full-scale experiment to determine the mechanisms of Russian crisis response and the stability of the political vertical.

I would like to note that Samara is a Russian provincial city of a million people. It is not the same as Moscow or St. Petersburg. But a few hundred corpses, which is not a statistically significant number even for this city, have been enough to create an all-Russian crisis (of tactical, not strategic importance), which the groups of influence are using, pinning responsibility on each other, and which has forced the Kremlin to respond, albeit indirectly.

This experiment is a guideline for Ukraine! What happens if 1000 zinc caskets arrive in Moscow simultaneously? I do not know, but it is definitely worth checking!

“What happens if 1000 zinc caskets arrive in Moscow simultaneously? I don't know, but it is definitely worth checking!”

The destruction of Russia’s personnel among the mobilized, accumulated on a geographical basis in basically rear points of permanent deployment, should definitely become one of Ukraine’s priority directions. The intelligence community, as well as the Special Forces, which have the appropriate power, should pay attention to this and put on their task list the identification of such places and strikes on them!

It should be accompanied by means of special information and psychological operations in order to maximize the descent of Russian society into separate clusters (“our people are getting killed so those in Moscow can profit”, as an example)!

To disrupt the Russian rear, using and strengthening all existing class, ethnic and other fractures of the Russian society is an important element of Ukraine’s future victory!
