I don't know this is going to result in something, but this is exactly the kind of scenario in which you see gathering forces
in Russia, demanding a voice.
And Putin faces a very, very difficult choice.
Militia is too careful to challenge him directly.
But he is presenting Putin with a dilemma.
You either cling onto your power and things get worse, or you can give up power and there might be something better.
That's a choice that he's trying to force on Putin before Putin's committed to escalation.
Of course it's self-serving.
Yes.
I mean, he's not doing this because he's high-minded.
He's not doing this because he's anti-war.
He's doing it because he thinks this is the route to survival.
And you have to remember, people like Melnichenko have taken risks and bets throughout their lives.
You don't end up as the most powerful industrialist in Russia unless you have a big appetite for risk.
So it is self-serving.
But the question is whether his analysis is right about the structural forces that are shaping Russia now.
I think, though, it's important to remember that he doesn't cast himself as a Democrat.
His idea of sovereignty is much more inclusive.
It's much more about the Kremlin serving the people.
But he doesn't propose a democracy.
