Putin until 2036? What does his biographer know? The results of the forum are that with the economy, MAX was removed. “Terrible News” with Kirill Martynov

“Terrible News” with Kirill Martynov

Ukraine attacks St. Petersburg during the economic forum. Oil depots are burning, a warship is destroyed. Zelensky offers Putin negotiations, and Putin continues to pretend that everything is fine with him. He even said that he was ready to remain in power after 2030. How can Putin respond to increasingly visible air attacks on his hometown?

News from the cyber war front: Max messenger was removed from the Apple app store, and the FSB accuses Cloudflare of spying on Russians. How will Roskomnadzor respond?

Putin showed this week that he knows a lot about linguistics. And at the Russian State University for the Humanities they are looking for a personal biographer for him with a salary of less than a thousand euros per month. We talk about how the cult of personality takes shape in the era of late Putinism.

These and other events of the week are commented on by the editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta Europe, Kirill Martynov, in the latest issue of “Terrible News”.
