Girkin complained about the failure of the Russian offensive: why will the Russians remove Putin and will there be "trouble"

The Kremlin was afraid of the "Prygozhin rebellion" and decided to flood the front with "meat" - Russians who were tempted by large payments and are now dying during the failed offensive of the Russian Armed Forces, according to Girkin's letter from prison, published in Telegram. The current mil blogger predicts that this will continue to happen for some time, but the people who want to get rich are about to run out.

Then, in order to replenish human resources, Putin will announce mobilization, but this will not save either, he believes. In order to improve the situation, there must be a "coup from above" in Moscow, because otherwise there will be "brutal confusion" and "losing the war". The text of Girkin's letter appeared on October 17, but is dated October 15.

The Russian first reacted to a survey of Russians, in which they explained that they do not want to fight because they do not trust the authorities, are not satisfied with the conditions of service, and do not know what the war is about. In response, the mil blogger wrote a text criticizing Putin, however, without names, but with allusions to the "little man". At the same time, he complained about the lack of a strong hand, such as the leaders of the USSR, Joseph Stalin.

According to Girkin, there are 70-year-olds sitting in the Kremlin who only need peace and comfort, while more active action should be taken in the war with Ukraine. Among other things, the former FSB officer described the course of the war, when the "Donetsk meat grinder" began at the front. At the same time, it turned out that the Ukrainians know how to fight, hold the defense and already have the means of defeat for strikes deep into the territory of the Russian Federation.

Girkin emphasized that the Armed Forces have a "technical and organizational" advantage: now Ukrainians are harming the economy and this has become "daily business". In conclusion, the mil blogger advised the Russians that it is better to stage a coup and remove Putin, because otherwise a riot will start.

It should be noted that in the spring of 2025, a Russian media blogger, formerly an employee of the FSB of the Russian Federation, who ended up in a colony, Ihor Girkin, predicted what the Russian offensive would be like. The first thing he mentioned was the events of 2024, when the Russian Armed Forces began an attempt to attack Kharkiv, but stopped in Vovchansk. According to the Milblogger, for an offensive, the Kremlin needs 3-4 armies, which are nowhere to be taken.

Instead, reserves will be burned in the summer and this will not benefit the "war of attrition" conducted by the Russian Federation, Girkin wrote. In September 2025, another letter appeared, summarizing that the Russian offensive is a "shame. " The fact that the Russians will lose is indicated by the permission for the departure of 18-22-year-olds, adopted in Ukraine. In his opinion, this means that there are enough forces in the Armed Forces anyway, which is why people were released abroad.
