Mikhail Svetov

What future awaits Akim Apachev? I think it's quite an unseemly one. We've seen what happened to Strelkov.

Putin is stronger than he was 4 years ago. This is a reality that must be acknowledged. And the scenarios that seemed realistic back then are not realistic at all today. Therefore, I don’t believe in the “snuffbox scenario” at all. The “snuffbox” refers to the fate of Russian Emperor Paul I, who was killed by conspirators using a snuffbox.

Notice that I did not mention the Anti-Corruption Foundation because I sincerely believe that they have no political future in Russia. I think a critical number of fatal mistakes have been made, making them vulnerable to being taken down by anyone.

Do you think it’s realistic that Benjamin Netanyahu will be arrested and convicted in The Hague? To me, that seems like an absolutely improbable scenario.

I think no one doubted that Lukashenko would rule Belarus until his own end. He will not leave the office of president as a result of elections.

Zelensky, in a conversation with Trump, stated directly that if Ukraine is not given access to NATO, it will develop its own nuclear weapons, and supposedly it would only take Ukraine a few weeks to do so. It's clear that this is largely a bluff, and it's unlikely that anyone would actually allow Ukraine to do something like that.

Leonid Nevzlin is already banned from entering Russia. The problem with Leonid Nevzlin isn’t his current political positions; it’s that he’s accused in a case of theft, which is quite convincing, to begin with. Secondly, he’s also being charged in a case of conspiracy to commit murder, which is also fairly credible. Leonid Nevzlin will never return to Russia.

In my opinion, after reaching 100-120 thousand, there will be a significant pullback. That's my prediction. After Bitcoin breaks through 100 thousand, there will be a significant pullback.

I think this is unlikely. The response to the remark: 'Since in Russian rhetoric, Britain is the main enemy... perhaps the nuclear strike that everyone fears will not be on Kyiv, but literally on London'

The war in Taiwan will, of course, devastate the economies of the entire world. A hypothetical war

Iran is preparing for war with Israel, but has allowed for the possibility of refraining from attacking Israel if the UN condemns the strike on Damascus, which seems unlikely to me. This means the US must condemn the strike on Damascus. This will not happen.

If the escalation of the war continues, then my prediction is unfavorable; unfortunately, we will see a new wave of mobilization. In Russia.

If we need to predict how exactly Telegram will be killed in Russia, I can make that prediction. Because I see how this is happening in Brazil, where Telegram has been constrained. Certain channels are being blocked in Brazil. So, globally, Telegram channels are not banned, but they are cut off from a significant part of the local audience. Because if you are accessing Telegram from a Brazilian IP address and want to subscribe to some Brazilian Telegram channel, Telegram does not allow you to do this for the same reason that when you open certain Telegram channels on an iPhone, it says that they are unavailable due to iOS policy. This balkanization of the internet as a whole and Telegram in particular will happen, and it seems to me that, unfortunately, this is indeed the most likely scenario for the degradation of Telegram

Therefore, it is quite difficult for me to believe in such a development of events. That NATO countries will introduce their contingent into Ukraine in any form.

There is one thing that can be said unequivocally. In the case of a non-total defeat in the war against Ukraine, the regime in Russia will not change. This can be stated with certainty.

What does a favorable scenario for Ukraine in the war look like today? Everything will stop... and the losses that have been incurred will be recorded... This is a scenario that neither Zelensky's cabinet nor the people who made political decisions over the past two years will survive. The scenario of stopping the war along the current line of combat contact will not be survived by Zelensky's team.

I generally believe that we have not yet passed the most terrifying point... all those small conflicts that are gradually smoldering around the world will eventually culminate in a larger war... my prediction is not optimistic... my prediction is that, unfortunately, there will be a major war within the next 20 years.
Expected January 1, 2045

It seems to me that the expansion of the European Union will pause for now. Not because Serbia cannot fulfill certain accession obligations, but because, in general, this political project is currently experiencing a crisis. I find it easier to predict that another country might leave the EU rather than Serbia being accepted into it. Response to the question: "Does Serbia have a chance to join the European Union in the coming years?"

Putin has bitten off more than he can chew with Ukraine... I consider the option of breaking through a corridor to Kaliningrad through Poland to be absurd. It is impossible to believe in this in the coming decades. Response to the remark: 'Does Putin have enough of his geopolitical madness to break through a corridor to the Kaliningrad region?'

The entire security theater that was established in Russia, both for the start of the war and for combating the Chinese coronavirus, failed to protect Muscovites from becoming victims of a terrorist attack organized by the Islamic State. Unfortunately, my prediction is that as the situation in the Middle East continues to destabilize, the number of such terrorist attacks on Russian territory will increase. God forbid this happens. My pessimistic forecast is that it will happen because no effective tools for combating Islamic terrorism have been established in Russia.

No free trade with the thesis that Argentina will now cut trade relations with Brazil and China... I don't think he will implement any of this. Javier Milei will not sever trade relations with Brazil and China.

Late-stage, senile Putin - yes. Does this mean it's the end for Putin - no. Because Putin is more than just one person; he is more than himself. And the obligations that converge on his personality will keep him afloat, I believe, for quite a while. Response to the remark: 'Maybe this is already that late-stage, senile Putin who has 5 minutes left, so to speak'

Trump’s rise to power, in particular, means that energy prices will fall because Trump promises to increase production.

I can truly believe that the question of lifting the moratorium on the death penalty in Russia is a matter of the next year or two; everything is heading in that direction. It will first be tested on some 'traitors, collaborators of Ukraine', and then it will start to trickle down.
