Why Putin can’t stop the war — and why peace is more dangerous to his regime than defeat.

Why does Russia keep fighting a war it can’t win, can’t afford, and can’t walk away from? In this video, Elvira Bary dives into the hidden logic of the Kremlin — the fear, the internal rivalries, the lies, and the survival instincts that keep this war alive long after strategy stopped making sense. We’ll explore why negotiations are impossible, why peace is more dangerous for Putin than defeat, why Russian elites stay silent, and why ordinary people once supported a catastrophe that offers them nothing. This is the political psychology of the Kremlin — stripped of myths, illusions, and propaganda.
