Mr. Putin's speech condemning the mutiny came half a day after the mutiny started, and the speech was *PATHETIC. It had an amateur historical reference to the [1917] revolution. And then, it was just morally imploring people to protect the state and to protect him. This wasn't a tyrant saying "I'm going to take control." This was a crybaby saying "Save me! Save me! Save me! Save me!"* And underneath all of that was incandescent *anger* at Prigozhin, because Prigozhin triggered Putin's most traumatic reaction and biggest fear, which is to end up in a kind of Gaddafi predicament. So the idea of revolution is Putin's worst nightmare, and that speech conveyed *RAGE* at Prigozhin and gave people the indication that Putin's going to deal with the situation toughly. But what happened? There wasn't a follow-through. There might be. But so far, that speech didn't get translated into practice. (Quoted from Vlad Vexler, starting from 0:53 in his latest video ...)

Meanwhile, what did we see on the streets of Moscow after PooTin's pathetic speech? As a column of Vagner thugs was rolling towards him, *Muscovites were walking around like nothing was happening, taking selfies in the Red Square, and discussing the weather. Seeing that, it really drove home everything that is discussed on Vlad Vexler's channel, about the depoliticization of RuZZians, and their inability to see themselves as anything but passive observers*. It makes PooTin's speech that much more pathetic, and even comical. After all he has done to keep RuZZians at home sitting on their couches, did he really think that RuZZians would come rushing to protect him? (Taken from a comment posted on Vlad Vexler's video, which I linked to earlier.) Tenchusatsu
