“He needs a certification…Proof he can hold up and say, yet again, ‘The country is behind me.’” My The New Yorker essay on Putin’s reelection this weekend and how two years of war has (and has not) recast Russian politics, society, economy. newyorker.com/news/the-weeke…
War, especially a prolonged one with relentless suffering, makes everyone lose their heads. But this is silly and worthy of an apology. Simon Shuster is a professional, judicious, courageous reporter who has been reporting on Ukraine for a decade-plus. twitter.com/k_sonin/status…

The rise and fall of Yevgney Prigozhin is one of the signal tales of the Putin era: ambition, brutality, cynicism, a system losing its centrifugal force and trying to retain it at all costs. My postscript on the founder of Wagner for The New Yorker: newyorker.com/news/postscrip…
The long, gruesome story of Wagner, from Ukraine to Africa and the oil fields of Syria and back to Ukraine again, where it sent thousands of convicts into the 'meat grinder.' And then, fatefully, on the march to Moscow. My piece in this week's The New Yorker: newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…
