The novelty here is not condiment in the psychiatric facility. It is the very fact that Remeslo “flipped”. It is an indication that that different Kremlin’s Towers (the symbols of various elite groups) struggle for influence. Putin, as a moderator of Elites , lost his credentials. Overall, Russia lost the war it started. I project that Russia will collapse by 2030, if Trump wins in the Gulf. P.S. Navalny is not an opposition, he was FSB special op to identify people with desenting views. Real opposition was murdered long ago.

The distinction between imprisonment and psychiatric confinement is analytically precise. Prison acknowledges a political adversary. Psychiatry dissolves one. What makes the Remeslo case structurally significant is not just the method but the target: someone inside the enforcement apparatus, not outside it. Authoritarian systems are most vulnerable not to external pressure but to internal loss of belief. The speed of the response confirms the threat was felt as existential, not merely inconvenient.

It could never happen here, right? HA!

TRUMP is Putin's understudy.
