The YouTube channel “Dmitry Gordon” published an interview between the editor-in-chief of the online publication “GORDON” Alesya Batsman and Russian lawyer and blogger Mark Feigin.
During the interview, Batsman and Feigin discussed the following topics:
- in Russia – internal “movement”. Is a rebellion or conspiracy brewing against Putin?;
- Ukrainian drones fly to Perm and St. Petersburg;
- the Russians suddenly became concerned that the parade could not be held due to the threat of drones;
- Russians have a feeling that there will be no victory, the years have been wasted;
- Tuapse is suffering because all air defense has been moved to Moscow;
- Ukrainian ballistics will fly – and a hole will remain from the Lubyanka or the Kremlin;
- Putin will not dare to mobilize because it is unpredictable;
- is another “Prigozhin’s march” possible now;
- Putin cannot attack the Baltic countries – he does not have the resources to do so;
- Will Putin “unfreeze” the Internet for Russians?
