So I guess this is the right place to discuss the implications of the Ivan Golunov case?

That case and other similar incidents have some wondering if Putin's hold on power is slipping.

Quote:
“There is a joke popular among the Moscow elite,” Dmitry Gudkov, a Russian opposition politician, told me, “that Putin is only an avatar of the Russian secret service—he lives in a bubble, he is fed by the system, and he cannot control it any longer.”
thoughts?
