Today only confirmed what many already suspected: Russia is entering the final chapter of its current era. At the center stands a hollowed-out leader, presiding over a nation cannibalizing its own economy to keep the war machine running. Two of its key allies have crumbled, state finances are drying up, and the façade of stability is cracking.
For six months, Moscow’s game with Washington bought it time. But reality has caught up. The recent setbacks have shattered any illusions that victory is still within reach. Putin dismissed President Trump’s earlier, more moderate proposals—now, he faces a Ukraine bristling with advanced Western weaponry, a surging European arms industry, and a crumbling domestic front.
What lies ahead may be even more catastrophic than the fall of the Soviet Union. This moment echoes 1917, when revolution and civil war tore Russia apart. Unlike then, however, there’s no ideological fire driving this regime—just desperation. Even China, once seen as a potential lifeline, appears unwilling to pay the price of propping up a sinking power.
Ukraine, meanwhile, is no longer battling the Soviet Union’s ghost. The massive arsenal once stockpiled over four decades is largely gone—obliterated in just 40 months of brutal warfare.
The pressing question now isn’t whether Russia will fall, but how.
A historical parallel emerges: 1944, World War II. By then, the defeat of the Axis powers was inevitable. Yet, a year and a half of devastating combat still followed. Unconditional surrender came at a staggering cost in human lives. History warns us: authoritarian regimes rarely step down quietly. They tend to drag their people down with them.
Will Putin fight to the bitter end? And more importantly—how long will Russians continue to follow him into the abyss?
The collapse has begun. The only question left is what form it will take.
