Bloomberg: "Kremlin retreats on internet crackdown as voter anger hits Putin's rating." This framing misreads how authoritarian systems work. Putin isn't pulling back because people are unhappy. Approval ratings tell another story. 1/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Farida Rustamova@faridaily_·
Our newsletter is getting a makeover! From now on, what you now know as Faridaily will be “Vlast.” In Russian, “vlast” has several meanings, but it’s usually translated into English as “power,” “dominion,” or simply “the authorities.” In Putin’s Russia, “vlast” is an extremely potent, and dangerous, force. We are motivated by the idea that exposing the inner workings of the Russian regime is a crucial public service. Subscribe and support our work!

Russia’s economy hasn’t collapsed. It has entered the “death zone” — surviving by consuming its own future. Growth at 1%. Budget deficit rising. Military sector expands while civilian industry shrinks. Interest payments > education + healthcare. No climber survives this altitude forever. 🔗 economist.com/by-invitation/…

This probably won't get through X's new algorithms, but reposting anyway. My upcoming memoir of 25 years in Russia and the Kremlin's insane war in Ukraine.
Bloomsbury Books UK@BloomsburyBooks

In The Descent, @marcbennetts1 traces Russia’s transformation from chaotic post‑Soviet hope to full‑blown paranoia – revealing how propaganda, fear, and violence reshaped a nation. A gripping, ground‑level account. Available to pre-order now.

Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.

"Financial Action Task Force does not check whether terrorism labels are justified, letting autocrats abuse the system. Unless regulators act, this transnational repression will spread." Important piece in @FT by my colleague Alexandra Prokopenko @amenka. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…

We're recruiting for a new Director at @UCLSSEES. I'm biased, of course, but SSEES really is a brilliant place – and more vital than ever as a centre for research and teaching, as well as public and policy engagement. Closing date: 15 February. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…
