Another casualty of Russia's war;
Putin swells the size of Russia's military...;
...And updates its nuclear posture

Nationalist sentiment, regional divisions resurface;
Russia's youth rage against the war machine;
Nervous in Norway;
Europe draws a red line...;
...As Moscow leans into its alliance with Tehran

In Russia, the war narrative is changing...;
...As revolt simmers in the ranks;
Another "undesirable," this time with a familiar name;

Still more Soviet nostalgia;
Moscow keeps fathers at the front...;
...And goes after deserters;
A haven from Western "wokeness"

Cracks in Russia's fiscal facade;
Russian soldiers eye the exits;
Ukraine's new offensive…;
…And its immediate impact;
No room for non-Russians;
Russian profits, Kyiv's gain
