The writer believes that Putin's state “has no duration and even average.”
Russian writer Boris Akunin (real name Grigory Chkhartshvili) gave an interview to the BBC, in which he spoke about the project “Real Russia”, which he launched together with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Sergei Guriev, and shared his thoughts on the future of Russia. According to the writer, the war in Ukraine, which was unleashed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, marked the beginning of the “last chapter” of his regime.
“Until February 24, I assessed the prospects of this Putin state as, so to speak, medium-term. Now the situation has changed. There will be no duration or even average.
There, events will now unfold rapidly. This will probably be a rather sad spectacle, because the empty the refrigerator, the louder the TV and the harsher the repressive measures, that's all. Nevertheless, I think that this last head of Putin's state has begun, “Akunin said.

Asked by journalist Jesse Keiner whether the Russians will remain a stain on the aggressors, Akunin said that those who are fleeing the Putin regime are in a difficult situation now because no one wants to help refugees from Russia. “Everyone wants to help Ukrainian refugees, and that's understandable.”
“It simply came to our notice then. I think it will remain until there is a revolution in Russia, and the attitude towards Russia, towards the Russians, will probably change only then. Here we all live with it. What matters now is how we behave, whether we remain silent or not. Will we do some good things or not. This is our common cause, our common responsibility, “Akunin added.
He also noted that he was invited to perform on Ukrainian television channels. “But now I need to talk not with Ukrainians, but with Russians, I need to talk to compatriots, because it's time for us to act and unite. It's time to understand this new reality, and how to behave in it, “- said the writer.
Earlier , British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Putin was committing war crimes at a level that Europe has not seen “since the Third Reich, since World War II.”
