🇷🇺 A deputy of the Russian Duma has spoken about the danger of a “social explosion” and the need for a public plan to end the “special military operation”.
Vyacheslav Markhaev, a representative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF), accused the “ineffective leadership” of the deaths of Russian soldiers in the war and admitted that strikes on Russian territory are only intensifying.
According to him, the country’s political system has been controlled by the same team for a quarter of a century, which has completely lost touch with the needs of the population.
“The time of illusions is over. The country is on the brink of a social explosion, and full responsibility for this will lie with the unchanging government,” — Markhaev stated.

This statement from a Communist deputy is a notable sign of growing internal criticism within the Russian political system. Markhaev openly points to leadership failures, mounting military losses, and the risk of social unrest, highlighting the disconnect between the ruling elite and the population after decades in power. Such admissions reflect increasing war fatigue and pressure on the Kremlin from even systemic opposition voices.
