Am v worried about what Kremlin will use as an excuse for martial law in Russia: so many reports of Putin planning an atrocity inside Russia and blaming Ukraine
Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible by Peter Pomerantsev is a very good book on Putin's Russia, in case you haven't read it (bit out of date now).
It is claimed that Putin staged the Russian apartment bombings to strengthen his claim for the presidency. Christ knows what he would do now, but it could be ugly.
