Very enlightening and thorough report of what's happening in Russia. I have read some of this in bits and pieces in other articles, but this put it into a cohesive picture, the forces in Russia mobilizing against Putin. I have now become a follower of Barry. I hope he is right and that the Forum of Free People's will prevail.

What was also interesting was the parallel of reaction against minorities and migrants in Russia with what's is happening here with the MAGA movement in the U.S. It's like Trump and Putin are butt buddies sitting next to each other on the same toilet and toasting each other with shots of Stoli vodka.
