In Russia, distrust and frustration among employees of ministries and services is to deepen
Since the end of February last year, when the Kremlin attacked Ukraine, there have been reports of numerous misunderstandings and even conflicts within the Russian political elites and power structures. In the opinion of many analysts, this is a consequence of the authoritarian methods of exercising power by Vladimir Putinwhich makes decisions on its own, almost without consulting any advisers.

This management style, combined with the failures of the Russian army in Ukraine, has resulted in deepening mutual distrust and frustration among employees of numerous ministries and services, including the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Foreign Intelligence Service (SWR), as well as the Ministry of Defense, including the military intelligence (GU, better known by its earlier acronym GRU).
