#15I've heard this about a hundred times over the years.
I think the same every time I read this, but at one point it has to give, right?
Nothing is going well and economically the population is feeling it. I imagine this can’t go on much longer.

#16As a westerner i'm constantly bombarded with
> China is failing
> Russia is done for
> X is over
There are entire youtube channels dedicated to these circlejerks and they are forced into my recommendations all while we loose freedoms to 'fight foreign propoganda'.

Anecdotally, the people I know who recently visited Moscow and St Petersburg claim they're not seeing significant struggle, and definitely not the 'risk your life for violent revolution' type of issues.

Moscow and St Petersburg will be the absolute last places where you will see people struggle precisely because Putin knows it's important to keep those cities prosperous even if it's at the cost of people living outside of the major cities.

The Soviet Union, which was much worse, went on for a very long time. But it fell under similar circumstances, essentially bankrupted by a war in Afghanistan.
It's not so much when the population feels it, rather the elites who prop Putin up.
