I guess we’ll finally see where the “average Russian’s” loyalty lies, especially after Putin’s address. But I sincerely don’t believe many people will join the coup. We’ve seen their true colours alright. If they switch, it’ll only be if and when Putin is surrounded in his bunker or in exile.
That’s something I learned from reading too many books about WWII. It all started with the little things. What’s that “first they came” quote again?
