by Julia Langbein
|
|
|
|
|
Increasing repression and disinformation over the past years in Russia make it unlikely that current Western economic sanctions will have a large-scale mobilisation effect on the Russian people against the Putin regime.

by Diana Bogishvili, Tsypylma Darieva, Beate Eschment and Sabine von Löwis
|
|
|
|
|
Many governments in post-Soviet states have not unequivocally condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Their political and economic dependence on Russia is too great.
