I’ve ridden through several of these areas in the last year or so and it’s amazing that they all still look really nice.
They aren't strictly poverty now, they are "mixed income", so a percentage of the residents have some ability to function. They are probably also spending a lot more per unit for maintenance and maya have less than 100 % occupancy besides lower density to begin with.
Some of the blocks of housing projects worked for decades when they were segregated up to the late 60's. Entry housing for the poor who eventually moved on.

Weren't these loans to businesses primarily used to keep the workers the government harmed by their COVID policy employed?
keeping innocent workers employed and the economy hobbling along due to government shenanigans seems more "worthy" than relief for dolts who agreed to loans and now desire relief from their foolish actions.

What good will come from a military coup and presumed subsequent dictatorship?
Removing a President that starts the largest war in Europe since WWII is a good thing.
The break up of the Russian federation, could be an outstanding thing. Many of the candidates of secession would swing away from Moscow for ties with border powers/states.
Muscovy, economic bankruptcy and loss of its conventional threat is a good thing. The next muscovy didcator will be rather emasculated.

I was speaking with a good friend in Moscow about an hour ago, and he also was under the impression that Putin had evacuated Moscow, he thought St. Petersburg, but the word on the street is that he is gone. Also said in his opinion this was good for Moscow as they had been largely oblivious to the war until now.
Zelenski does seem to have the greater set of balls.

perhaps, but the break up of the FSE turned out pretty well overall for tens of millions of people.
But the democrats in Russia are hoping for regime change, and whomever replaces Putin won't have much to work with since Putin wrecked the economy and destroyed the Russian military, and made the dismemberment of the federation very likely.

Just because the HQ of the district is there it doesn't mean fuel and ammo is stored in Rostov on Don. I also doubt Wagner has much of a supply arm, it seems it is all tooth dependent on logistical support from other units.

Seems like Prigozhinwas was complaining about a lack of artillery, having a shite load of Manpads (air defense) and javelins (anti-tank) doesn't help you when you need artillery for counter battery fire and for destroying troop concentrations.
Also capture javelins probably didn't come from the Russian Ministry of defense so don't indicate they were being supplied much less with what they needed.
Michael Weiss's comment is rather irrelevant IMHO.

Taking control of the city and responding to resistance, apparently very little has been reported so far. headquarters of the Southern military District is in RonD and if that has been taken, the Russia Army isn't offering much resistance to the coup.

Maybe there isn't a civil war. I don't think any of us actually knows what's going on.
Enough video has been released to show Wagner PMC has largely left Ukraine and is active in Russia. And it probably isn't a civil war, just a coup so far.

Seeing some videos from Russia. There appears to be no fighting. Just seeing some Wagner vehicles posted up in some locations, and in some places there are local police cars gathered but they aren't doing anything. It's like Wagner people are there but aren't really doing anything, even seeing city workers sweeping streets, people next to Wagner vehicles taking cell phone video, regular traffic moving around. Pretty weird looking.
What is Wagner suppose to be doing for the cameras? If the Russian Army is doing nothing that is the crucial event. A civil war where the Feds aren't resisting is bad for the center.
