Heard on an Economist podcast (FWIW) Putin HATES protests


and will cheerfully disappear anyone he thinks is organizing them. But if enough people get pissed off enough, you don't need an organizer to get protests.

If sanctions have an endgame, that is probably it. Get the people of Russia to protest the regime. If Putin is brought down by an external power, he could become a martyr and Russia just stays on the same path. But if he's toppled from within, then Russia would choose to change direction.
