The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Rather than celebrate Russia's genuine triumph over fascism in 1945, Victory Day under Putin has become all about Russia's illegal war in Ukraine — a sign of how the country is turning into a military dictatorship under the autocrat's iron fist.
Pro-Russia narrative
As the West continues to engage in historical revisionism of Russia's role in fighting fascism, while at the same promoting neo-Nazi forces operating in Ukraine, Russia will never forget the sacrifice of its ancestors and will continue their memory against the new enemies the country faces.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 50% chance that Vladimir Putin will cease to hold the office of President of Russia by December 2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
