D to Anton Shepelev:

I don't know, but if he does fall, we are going to have
some bloodshed, so I fear that moment, especially while
Russia is at war.

So you don't think he has prepared a mini-Tsar to take
over?

Mini-tsar?!  No, I think this a problem with both Putin and
Lukashenko: by preventing any real legal opposition and
competition, they have removed any strong future candidates,
as well.  But Lukashenko at least publicly admints that he
is a "outgoing politician".

Or will there be an all out war among his crown-princes?

Not an all-out war I think, but some criminal wars are
possible, what with the Prigozhine mutiny.  And once it
starts, foreign armies may invade Russia as well, exactly as
it happened during the so-called Allied Intervention.

The economy is only too good, seeing how much money is
wasted on reconstructions in my hometown, &c.

Exactly what I suspected! A lot of businesses are done
through the dirka-dirka-stan countries according to an old
acquaintance who has relatives there.

You mean parallel import to bypass the sanctions?  This is
just one of the factors.

How is the inflation?

Quite high, thanks to the colonial policy of our Central
Bank.  Did you know that /nobody/ was punished for letting
the West steal $3e12 of Russian reserves, by keeping
them in the banks of our geopolitical enemies?
