    Political philosopher Vlad Vexler commented that this had opened Russia up for politication. It didn’t fit most people’s imagination to talk about a Russia not led by Putin, but now that is possible to imagine and talk about.

      I’m thinking there’s no way Putin is in charge anymore. He might be president on paper and come out on TV acting like he’s in charge, but he no longer has the power. Someone else is running the show, we just don’t know who. The coup worked, but publically replacing Putin would cause too much chaos, so they’re going to conduct a theatrical performance to keep the peace while things get rearranged behind the scenes. What do you think?
