There's Big Chatter of a Coup in Moscow - Paul Warburg [View all]



There's chatter of a coup within Russia. That's nothing new - but this time, there's a twist. It's happening on Russian social media, at the same time that there are rumors within the Russian military that Stalin-style purges could come soon. Is there really a coup being planned...or is Putin simply trying to weed out disloyal elements? Either way, Putin's paranoia is on display, with potentially large implications for Russia's future and for the war in Ukraine.
