On Noah Smith's podcast we discussed why Putin's Russia is *way* more personalist than the USSR ever was. I argued that sanctions are efficient, and that Putin can't back off in Ukraine or he is done (= and thus appeasement strategy won't work out)

Commentary for Mikhail Svetov (Rus). Public opinion overrated the Russian army, underrated the Ukrainian one and misinterpreted political goals of Z-operation. Once Russia declared a total war, it can't take anything less than the destruction of Ukraine
