Russia has mp elections this September. (not president, its for their "congress" lets say).
The results are already known. Putin's people win the majority/supermajority they need/want, opposition gets what's allowed to them.
But. This election will have something new. Putin personally announced last year that the people who will succeed him and the ruling class of Russia in power today, will be the people who fought for it. Not pencil necks but warriors. A huge number of Ukraine war veterans will be put in the power system of Russia. Local and federal.
I believe that will be the biggest change in Russian politics after Putin taking power. These people don't come from the halls of old soviet bureaucracy. They come from a childhood during the chaos and poverty of the 90s and this insane brutal war of Russia vs the west. They despise the west. They despise Israel (probably all jews) for the assistance it gave Ukraine and bragged about it. They despise liberalism, homosexuals, trannies, feminism and immigration. They want revenge for the decades of exclusion during the ussr and utter humiliation in the 90s. They want Russia an empire again. Not a "modern state of international rules and laws". A Russian empire.
Imo this is not what putin originally wanted. Again imo, this is the result of a compromise linked to the failed Prigozin Wagner mercenary group attempted coup. Putin was found lacking by Russia's young warrior class. Too soft. Too careful. Too formal. (Perhaps history will prove him right to be that) So despite the coup failing and Prigozin and his immediate circle killed, the rest of the warrior class was neither eliminated nor neutralized. Quite the opposite. True, they are not the iranian revolutionary guard, but still they are a force not to be underestimated.
So, once again imo, they gave Putin a deal. Prigozin goes. But you will transfer power to us. The easy way. The political way. Your way. Your timetable. Your plan. But. You WILL transfer power to us. Or we will take it and the people will support us.
So that's what i believe is happening in Russia this September election. The beggining of that new Russian era.
There is war on the horizon. Real war. And if Russia wins it, an empire.
This guy is at the end of the tunnel.
