Russian Deputy Defence Minister Timur Ivanov was arrested today on charges of corruption on a particularly large scale as Vladimir Putin tightens his iron grip on Russia.
As Russians continue to gather and lay flowers, more than 400 people have been detained from across 32 cities for participating in events to mourn the death of Putin critic Alexei Navalny.
As Russia's military loses territory to a Ukrainian counteroffensive, opponents of the war feel emboldened enough to call for Putin’s resignation on social media. But the regime is playing a long game.
