Blood and lead time in the service of the Kremlin

The manner of Daria Dugina's death, and above all the subsequent - even lightning - reaction of the propaganda apparatus in Russia, may be 1 of the informing signs erstwhile it comes to the state of relations among the Kremlin elites in the era of war with Ukraine. We are dealing with a visible mixing of violent factional battles, blurring the boundaries between the modes of operation of peculiar services and average forms of criminal activity, with increasingly absurd lines of propaganda narratives towards the interior recipient. All this is superimposed on military aggression, which clearly highlighted all the shortcomings of the strategical pillar of the strategy of power in Russia, that is, the armed forces. Historical experience, relating to the period of regulation of Vladimir Putin himself, but besides the broader view of the period of USSR/Russia may propose that we are facing the proverbial time of blood and lead in the service of war.
