The sudden and unexpected rise of people power in Russia has not only raised questions about the future of the Putin regime, it has also raised the question of whether the state will be able to handle these new forces through political means if possible, coercion if necessary. Having addressed these issues in his regular Moscow News column (‘Not 1917, but maybe 1905?‘), Professor Mark Galeotti was also invited to be interviewed for a podcast released by the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Power Vertical series while visiting Prague (‘Russia After the Perfect Storm‘), in which he discussed the authorities’ response to the protest movement, emerging splits within the elite, and the role of the security services in the new political environment.
