Ian Garner: 普京最近对国防部的改组并非简单的换人，而是为了提高战争效率，应对腐败问题，并推进以战争为基础的经济模式。尽管俄罗斯国内对战争的反对声音遭到压制，但战争本身在各个年龄段都获得了广泛支持，甚至许多人支持对西方和美国的更广泛战争。俄罗斯政府通过各种渠道向年轻人灌输牺牲是爱国和履行公民义务的必要条件的观念，以此维持他们对战争的热情。俄罗斯对法西斯民族主义的重新推动并非突然转变，这种愿望一直潜伏在社会中，只是在过去20年中，政府利用现代宣传手段将其放大。只要普京在位，俄乌冲突就不可能和平解决，因为普京已经孤注一掷，并且会利用国家机器继续推动战争叙事。存在通过推广温和的俄罗斯民族主义来改变叙事，从而最终促使普京下台的希望，但这并非易事。未来几个月，俄罗斯和普京将会继续战争，即使他们声称想要和平，那也只是暂时的喘息机会。 Chuck Warren & Sam Stone: 就俄乌战争的最新进展、俄罗斯国内局势以及对战争的公众看法与Ian Garner进行了深入探讨。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Putin's recent cabinet reshuffle, particularly the replacement of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu with economist Anton Siluanov, signals a strategic move towards a war-based economy in Russia. This decision comes amidst growing concerns over corruption within the Ministry of Defense and the need for a more efficient leader to manage the substantial resources dedicated to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Siluanov's track record as a technocrat and effective manager makes him a suitable candidate to oversee this transition to a wartime economy.
