We Will F*ck Them All!
Russia’s Elites One Month after the Start of the War
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
The mood among high-ranking civil servants and members of parliament has turned. Western sanctions and state propaganda have led even those elites who were initially appalled by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to rally behind Putin. The hope that they will try to exert influence on Putin and persuade him to stop the war is said to be futile.
