Hardline Russian Futurists Push Extreme Scenarios as Ukraine Strikes Narrow Kremlin Narrative

At SPIEF, Kremlin-linked ultranationalists Malofeev and Dugin outlined extreme “good/continuing/bad” scenarios for Russia through 2036–2050, signaling goals that may diverge from official rhetoric while battlefield realities constrain ambitions. On the same day, Ukrainian long-range strikes hit Russian assets in St. Petersburg (including the Kronstadt naval base and the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal) and other oil infrastructure; Russia launched drones/missiles in response. ISW notes no confirmed frontline advances, stagnation around Slovyansk/Lyman, potential war-crimes allegations in several sectors, and rising Russian-Belarusian military cooperation, highlighting a widening gap between hardline ultranationalist aims and current battlefield progress.

Russian ultranationalists criticize Putin's handling of Ukraine conflict.

Russian ultranationalists criticize Putin's response to recent drone attacks and border raids, saying he's "out of touch with reality" and questioning if there's a "real plan" to retaliate. Putin has been increasingly fearful for his life since the drone attack, but official responses signal there's little for him to do against Ukraine beyond blasting Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones. The ultranationalists and war-hawks want Russia to escalate its attacks, but the government's responses have been insufficient to satisfy their desire for escalation in the war.

Assassination and Arrests: The Vulnerability of Russia's Nationalists

The death of pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky in a cafe explosion in St. Petersburg has left Russia's ultranationalist pro-war commentators feeling exposed and vulnerable. Tatarsky's death is the second apparent assassination of a prominent Russian pro-war commentator on home soil, and analysts suggest that it could be evidence that Putin's tolerance toward these milbloggers is waning. The online community is now asking why Tatarsky was targeted, and by whom. The authorities have detained a woman on suspicion of involvement in what they described as a "high-profile murder."
