Our New Weekly R.Politik Digest is OUT and Available Now – No subscription required.

This week, we delve into four key events:

📌 Putin Agrees to Run in the March Election: It appears that Andrey Turchak has been a major influence on how Putin announced his electoral intentions. This has irked domestic policy overseers concerned about the excessive militarization of Putin’s campaign.

📌Putin’s Meeting with the Human Rights Council: Often dismissed as predictable and dull, these meetings can be surprisingly revealing. We explore the significant splits over Immigrant Policy and Hardline Prosecution, even among loyalists. Plus, why Putin’s remarks are frequently overlooked by official entities.

📌 The Debate Over Nationalizing Baltika: President Bolloyev of Baltika has suggested considering nationalization. Putin's initial idea of transferring foreign assets to Rosimushchestvo without formal ownership changes is causing complications for new managers and the government. Nationalization could be a solution, but consensus is lacking.

📌 Personal Data Leaks: Post-Ukraine invasion, Russia saw a spike in cyberattacks and data breaches. The cabinet's initial response with administrative and financial measures for IT companies to bolster data protection was short-lived. United Russia and security services have since taken charge, with data leaks now potentially leading to lengthy imprisonment sentences.
