  1. Probably more and it will only continue to grow. Last year a lot of electricity and heating systems broke down due to lack of maintenance as workers were sent to the front. Probably nothing has been fixed, so the breakdowns will be worse this year and discontent will grow bigger.

    People who came back will probably also tell stories about this pointless war and will grow discontent even further. Let’s wait and say. 2025 will be a though year for Putin.

  2. It sounds like some bullshit, something I highly doubt the representativeness of this study. I can still believe in ending the war here and now, but withdrawing the troops? And Crimea? And Donbas? I don’t believe.

    Popular opinion is of zero consequence. It’s when the men in dark suits in the corridors of power start getting antsy that Putin will be under threat.

  4. Winter is coming, that number will only increase.
    But it is an irrelevant metric, Putin cares not for the will of the people.

  5. The real issue he has at the moment is conscripts being used in combat. Parents of Children from Moscow and St Petersburg are the only ones that have a real voice. The more of those that don’t go home the more chance of pressure on Putin.

    Does anyone still seriously discuss the results of polls in a totalitarian country? 9 out of every 10 people just don’t want to talk.
