Russia: weekly report (05.08-11.08)

This report presents key events that had an important impact on political, economic and social processes inside Russia.

Based on the results of the past week, the following trends can be identified in the following thesis:

  • Putin is trying to show active interaction between the presidential vertical and legislative structures. In this situation, a television picture is created: the president gathers the heads of the Federation Council and the State Duma and gives them a farewell for the fall session, indicating the priority of certain issues to be considered by the deputies. The working meeting thus turns into an informational message.
  • Apparently, Russia will not announce mobilization and will not withdraw troops from the front line. Putin has managed to pull up reserves, with the help of which he is trying to squeeze Ukrainian troops from the territory of Kursk region. The AFU has so far achieved a rather modest success – 7 to 10 small settlements are under the control of the AFU, the capture of the district center of Suja (less than 5 thousand people) has not been possible – the city is in the operational semi-envelope. Raids are being made deep into the region. 
  • Putin’s decision not to raise the status of the so-called “special military operation” to “anti-terrorist operation” or to declare a state of war has played its role in the process of keeping calm and order in Russia. They decided to make do with a “counterterrorist operation” in a separate area of the Kursk region. Obviously, there will be conclusions and personnel purges, but after the completion of the operation in Kursk region. 

This digest discusses the following issues that were most relevant to Russia during the period from August 5 to August 11:

  1. The entry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine into the territory of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation;
  2. Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko and State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin;
  3. Meeting with members of the Russian government;
  4. Meeting with heads of security agencies;
  5. Vladimir Putin’s telephone conversation with the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Tho Lam;
  6. Meeting with permanent members of the Security Council;
  7. Oleg Deripaska’s interview for Nikkey Asia.
