Agree with @olliecarroll. The whole premise that Putin would face domestic unrest because he "lost" the war is flawed. Barring a truly catastrophic defeat (unlikely), he will be able to manufacture almost any outcome as a victory. Most Russians will gladly accept that narrative

🇦🇲 Armenian billionaire and leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, #GagikTsarukyan, has been arrested. He is accused of fraud on an especially large scale. At the same time, the wild animals kept by Tsarukyan were tranquilized and transferred to the Yerevan Zoo. #Armenia

Mediazona has been an essential source on repression and all things legal (or rather illegal) in Russia. Do consider supporting the colleagues who report out of courtrooms and bring you exclusive on the plight of Ukrainian POWs in Russia and Russia's crackdown on its own citizen.
