Russian President Vladimir Putin’s promise to keep everything under control has been challenged this week by the attack on Belgorod launched from Ukraine. The fact that a year and a half into the war, the Federal Security Service, which is responsible for borders, is not able to protect against small-scale attacks is concerning to the Russians as it shows the security system is deteriorating. Additionally, Russia was not able to secure a nearby storage site for nuclear components meaning that locals are starting to realize that the war in Ukraine is coming to their own land. The attack on Belgorod has struck its psychological target as Russian nationals are beginning to be internally displaced.
The attack seems to have struck its psychological target as people are becoming internally displaced. Even Boris Vishnevsky, a city-council member in St. Petersburg, noted that Russia’s generals can promise us to destroy everything alive but the FSB, which is actually responsible for border protection, are busy hunting Russians down on social media. Some Russian friends have caught themselves walking around with their mouths open in absolute shock. While Putin was staring at a French map allegedly dated from the mid-17th century, with the word Ukraine on it and insisting that Ukraine did not exist before the Soviet times, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner mercenary group, is building political capital from every failure of the Russian military. Ukraine, on the other hand, is only getting stronger, according to Prigozhin.
