Putin's 'Dark Fantasy' Materialized: Kremlin Adopts Horrible Law. New Talks Begin - The Russian Dude



Putin’s latest legal maneuver has pushed Russia deeper into authoritarian darkness. The Kremlin has passed a terrifying new law that eliminates seasonal military conscription and replaces it with a year-round draft, meaning every single day is now a potential draft day. There are no more warning periods, no public mobilization announcements—just a quiet, constant threat looming over every Russian man. Backed by an unpublished presidential decree, this law weaponizes bureaucracy, fear, and digital surveillance, allowing the state to silently sweep people into the military meat grinder without resistance. It's not about national security—it's about permanent control.

Behind this dystopian “Forever Draft Act” is Duma strongman Kartapolov, the architect of nearly every militarization law since 2022. This law doesn't just change conscription—it destroys predictability, forcing young men and their families to live in a state of perpetual anxiety. Now, even failure to register could mean losing your citizenship. Draft notices are digital, nearly invisible, and enforcement is happening through surprise raids, blacklists, and public ambushes.

At the same time, Russia and Ukraine have begun a third round of peace talks in Istanbul, but don’t get your hopes up. Russia is sending a low-level proxy instead of serious diplomats, while Ukraine pushes for real humanitarian goals. With the Kremlin still demanding land and refusing ceasefire terms, these talks look more like a distraction than genuine diplomacy.

This video exposes how Putin’s war has evolved from battlefield clashes to legislative nightmares. Mobilization isn’t announced anymore—it’s embedded in daily life. Russia is no longer at war; war is its default setting. Behind the scenes, the elite shield themselves while regular citizens become disposable fuel. This is not peace. It’s preparation for the next wave.

Watch now to understand the full scope of the Kremlin’s horrifying new law, how it’s reshaping Russian society, and why the Istanbul talks may be just another act in Putin’s dark fantasy.
