Does Putin Face a Growing Crisis?

From The Telegraph: Putin fears another coup as Russia finally begins to buckle

In 2003 Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested by the forces of Putin's Russia. It probably marked the start of Russia's return to being a totalitarian state.

This month, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) accused Khodorkovsky, who now lives in exile in London, and 22 members of Russia’s Anti-War Committee of plotting a coup.

According to the FSB, the committee, which was created to oppose Russia’s war in Ukraine, is vying for “the violent seizure of power and overthrow of the constitutional order in the Russian Federation”.

Khodorkovsky says the allegations are lies. Kremlinologists say it is a clear sign of a new sense of vulnerability at the heart of the Russian state.

The article goes on to list all the reasons Putin should be worried. From the economic, to the military, to the political and the diplomatic. While I like The Telegraph, I would take all of this with a grain of salt. Which is to say, I've heard a lot of this before, and he is still in power. (Hat tip to Newsmax and Putin Faces Growing Financial Crisis Amid Sanctions) The one thing that will eventually stop Putin, is time. It's rumored that he has cancer, and he is not a young man. But then what? What, or who, comes next?
