Following the Panama Papers, Putin only dropped 7% in Russian favorability polls, but in a surprise move he has just reorganized (eliminating some) Russian security services into a "National Guard" under himself, alone.
>With the price of oil having dropped by almost $100 per barrel and the economy shrinking, the Kremlin had to come up with a plant to prevent or control public anger. “There are two ways to compensate for this $100 per barrel,” pro-Putin political analyst Yuri Krupnov told The Daily Beast. “Either offer a major industrialization, develop a few dozen industries, or tighten the bolts, keep people under pressure.”
Stronk, huh? You fucking imbecile.

>"In calling for a national guard, and appointing Zolotov as its commander, Putin could be fortifying his administration against the threat of a coup," it said. "This may suggest that the Russian president doubts whether other security forces, the FSB, Interior Ministry troops or even the military would remain loyal to him in the event of a coup."

Will it Balkanize further? I hope not, the last thing this world needs is a civil war from a county that possesses nukes. That shit could be disastrous.

I feel bad for Russia though because Canada is in the same situation
and instead of reviving old industries our glorious leader is forming a personal army of privilege checkers and Feminist enforcement corps
