Oligarch Breaks Ranks with Putin to Suggest a Way to "Stop the War" - Silicon Curtain

2026-01-20 | UPDATES #109 | The Kremlin’s Coming Economic Squeeze and potential mobilization prompts whispers of discontent from Russian Oligarchs. In Putin’s Russia, oligarchs don’t speak their minds, and certainty cannot critique power, or the decision that are made by the Tsar. They make noises that approximate dissent, coded signals with critical subtext. But if you read between the lines, the message is always the same: this war is eating the system alive – consuming the country’s economic potential and resources — but nobody is allowed to say that out loud. Today’s signal flare comes from a familiar messenger: Oleg Deripaska.
