Vladimir Putin’s motorcade was attacked with explosives used and a “loud bang” sounded from the tyrants armored car.
It is not known exactly when this took place but unverified reports on Telegram say the attack was recent.
A Kremlin insider who runs the General SVR Telegram channel said a car had blocked Putin’s motorcade and threw an explosive at the car which the Russian leader was in.
General SVR said, “On the way to the residence, a few kilometers away, the first escort car was blocked by an ambulance, the second escort car drove around without stopping, a sudden obstacle, and while driving around the obstacle, the third car, in which Putin was, a loud bang sounded from the left front wheel followed by heavy smoke.”
The report claims that despite the explosion, the car carrying Putin managed to reach its destination. However, it adds that “the investigation into the incident and all information on it is classified.”
There are strong fears there could be a coup under way against Putin and thousands of Chechen fighters have been reportedly sent to Moscow.

Domestic discontent has been brewing across Russia for many months over the war in Ukraine and Putin has been accused of sending the “country back into the Cold War era.”
The former bodyguard of Viktor Zolotov heads up the Rosgvardia which is also known as Putin’s “private army” which has been used over the past six months to violently suppress anti-Putin demonstrations and to arrest those who call the special military operation a war.
The news site Kavkaz Center tweeted, “Interesting info from Chechnya.
“KC sources report that a large batch of armed #Kadyrovtsy has been transferred to #МMoscow .
“The numbers vary from 3 to 7 thousand. Allegedly at the command of Zolotov.
“There is no official data, but this information is widely disseminated among the population.”
While getting rid of Putin is good, I don't expect them to get better for some time.
There will be civil war and regions breaking away

Putin Assassination Attempt: Russian President’s Movements Were Compromised; Several Security Service Agents Arrested After 3 Bodyguards Disappear
I find it an interesting turning point in “Russian” as opposed to “East Slavic/Kievan Rus” history the time when Ivan Grozny (the terrible) destroyed Novgorod.
Novgorod was a northern “republic” and far, far frier than Moscow.
Moscow’s Dukes got their power by being tax-collectors for the Mongol Khagan. Alexander Nevsky, the great Moscow “saint” fought against the West on behalf of the Great Khans..
Later the “Dukes” became “Grand Dukes” and took over more and more land from the Mongol Khaganate.
As the Khaganate split into the Golden Horde-Chagatai-Ilkhanate-Yuan etc., the Muscowites took their chance, absorbing more of the splinters.
The Grand Dukes became Caesars (Tsars) when Constantinople fell. And then they went on to become Mongol Khagans with the collapse of the Yuan at the same time.
Muscowy is the inheritor of the absolutist rule of the Great Khans. If Novgorod had won (not theoretically possible), then “Russian” history would have been quite different
interesting Ivan - did the Kremlin tell you “it was just a ..”?
Don’t compare Trump to Putin — that’s a Democrat talking.
Trump is an elected official. Putin is a dictator who has been in power for 22 years.
Putin is, along with Xi Jinping, a globalist - he wants a world dominated by him and Xi
No waiting necessary - already knew of this earlier. So you’re late.
There is no reliable or verified information publicly available to confirm the alleged attempt on Putin’s life
The identity of the account holder of General SVR is unknown and has been linked to a number of different actors, from Ukraine’s intelligence agencies to a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service official, although neither of these has been confirmed.
Some also suspect it to be a Russian security services operation, perhaps as a way of weeding out moles in the president’s circle.

“If Novgorod had won (not theoretically possible), then “Russian” history would have been quite different”
Well, when I play Europa Universalis IV I can win with Novgorod. Not easy, but it can be done if you pounce on Muscovy at just the right time, usually when they are tied up fighting someone else. But then Novgorod just becomes Russia, because you are basically forced to expand in the same direction, since you cannot challenge Scandinavia or Poland-Lithuania for a long time, and once you expand that way, you end up having all the same problems and enemies that Russia historically had.
But your political ethos differs as you won’t go down the autocrat route
I don’t know, you’ve never seen me play EU IV :)
All ethos go out the window when I can grab another sliver of territory to gain more of those sweet “Great Power” ranks.
