Real-Time Vindication

I called the coup on 26th May (see “Putin’s Chef Problem”). If I saw it, in sparse data, Ruschist power vertical, with access to rich data, saw it too. A month ago. What does this mean?

Since then FSB, Putin, Shoigyu will have used ALL their levers to stop this coup. They had all the powers of the Ruschist state their “rightful” authority gave them. And they failed.

As I understood a month ago (but which Russia ‘experts’ paid to know this stuff still don’t get), the Chef has been (and currently still is) Putin’s SOLE designated successor.
