In how many days did Putin really hope to take Kiev?
Folklore and expert gossip speak of 3 days.
I have no doubt that Putin hoped this would be done in no more than a week.
Such were the mass beliefs in Russia.
Unfortunately, they were like that in Bulgaria as well.

September 1984 - February 1985
The distant, alas, my youth.
The world title match is being played between the champion Anatoly Karpov, the darling of the social system, the spoiled child of the Soviet Union, and Garry Kasparov (12 years younger and apparently, like 21 years more alive), the thorn in the side of power, the stepchild of USSR Chess Federation.
The match is up to 6 wins and an unlimited number of games.
Karpov leads 5:0.
Kasparov chooses the tactic of exhaustion. Draw after draw, draw after draw.
Karpov is tired. The result becomes 5:1, after 15 games - 5:2, and immediately 5:3.
Karpov is groggy, left without strength, visibly shaken, obviously unfocused.
The Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU intervened and the match was stopped. Thus the Regime saves its pet.

Today, BahmUt is like this match.
In the role of Karpov are the rashists. And of Kasparov - the Ukrainians.
The rashists gave thousands of victims, a huge amount of equipment. No result. Street after street, house after house are passing into Ukrainian hands.
Rashists are groggy, left without strength, visibly shaken, obviously unfocused.

But there is no Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU to save them.

The Soviet Bloc: The USSR and the Proxies.
When all the proxies gave up on the USSR, the Soviet Bloc collapsed.
And then the USSR collapsed.

Georgia!
Georgia is just the beginning. The war against Ukraine showed the ugly and dangerous, expansionist and militaristic face of Russia. All its neighbors and satellites realized how dangerous it is to be together with Russia.

History will repeat itself!

The Post-Soviet Bloc: Russia and the Proxies.
Once all the proxies give up on Russia, the Post-Soviet Bloc will collapse.
And then it will be Russia's turn.

At another rashist atrocity, a colleague told me - not all Russians are like that!
No, not all of them are like that. But during and for a long, long time after That war, the entire USSR spoke with hatred, disgust and curse about the Germans. Not that they weren't all like that.
Collective stigma is inevitable.
Wars are started by chiefs, but fought by peoples.
That is why the King Rat hiding in the bunker caused many years of hard-to-repair damage to the entire people of Russia. He turned Russia into a monster, a monster that billions of people on the planet hate or fear.
And the attitude especially towards the Russians (because there is a weak distinction between R-O-SSIA and R-U-ssians in the public consciousness) for a very, very long time will be like a seriously ill and failed, embittered and paranoid, fearful and complex people. Nothing that not all Russians are like that, and even that most Russians are not like that at all...

Russia is terribly bloodthirsty towards its young generation. Every 15 years on average Russia sends its young generation to war and lets its blood flow.
In 1979, the war against Afghanistan began.
In 1994, the war against Chechnya began.
In 2008, the war against Georgia began.
In 2022, the war against Ukraine began.
