My guess is potential civil war in Moscow. The riot police are allowing protesters around the Kremlin (thus far).
The end?

Looks like the entire Russian Eastern front may be collapsing. Looks like the colonels have had enough and want to head home.

I thought all the Colonels were working from home.
Seems the 11th Amphibious Army, elite Russian forces that left Kharkiv have arrived in Moscow, and they are ***ed off with Putin.
Went through Rogsvardia with no resistance. They are 15,000 of the best trained troops in the Russian military, trained to defend Kalingrad against Nato.
If this turns out to be true, I think it may be all over for Putin.

Not in Donetsk and Luhansk.
All of this unconfirmed of course, but hopefully true.
Also in the 24-48 hrs ultra Putin supporting TV stations for the first time have openly reported on
‘difficulties’ and UA advances.

Ukraine Retakes Ground Near Kharkiv as Russia’s Defense Wobbles - The Moscow Times
Update: Ukraine on Thursday night announced it has fully retaken the city of Balakliya, ending the city's six months of Russian occupation.

the last couple of paragraphs here, quoting the pro-kremlin blogger do seem to support the view that Russia are in serious trouble

It would be better if the dictator was dead
Putin was in the Far East last night, talking incoherently and hugging birds. Rumour has it, his Brown Shirts went to Moscow airport to greet him this morning but he didn't show. He may have gone to a different airport. Weird footage of him on Twitter, smiling and opening a sports centre (painted blue and yellow, incredibly) ... which would be a bit odd when your forces are in retreat. Maybe filmed previously. It's Moscow day and elections underway, so a very busy day in the city and round the Kremlin. Rumour that a warrant has been issued by the Moscow Council for Putin's arrest, backed by some members of the Duma. If true, he's fecked. Another rumour is that he has stayed in the far east for this reason. Those elite troops have started to arrive in Moscow ... advanced parties. They are led by 4 ***ed off colonels apparently. If this bit is true, it's definitely all over for Putin. Trouble is, who replaces him?
Best option would be the Moscow Mayor, Sobyanin. Very popular in Moscow and beyond. Quietly anti-war the whole time and not fallen out of a window yet. He's very much western orientated.
Fingers crossed.

If that's true, I will eat my hat.
Well, it's extraordinary enough that it is confirmed that deputies from St Petersburg and Moscow have called for his resignation. This much isn't rumour.

There seems to be some odd things going on if genuine
They are heading East away from the city centre. Troops blocked the ring road. No explanation of "why" yet.

Sounds like the Russian police and Army are looking for the few who have spoken out to remove Putin.

Gonna need a bigger truck.
All rumours, but IF people are trying to topple Putin. Then Russia is potentially heading for civil war. Guy who lives in Russia and reports from there says Russian society is a lot more divided on Ukraine than polls are suggesting , and anti war lot are being silenced in polls for fear of jail .
All this time, Gorbachev tried to stop this civil war happening, but Putin caused it anyway .
Putin still has too many supporters just to be toppled peacefully

These dissenters, they may be anti Putin, but are they anti war?
