Putin Watch

What it measures. Observable pressure on Vladimir Putin’s regime: elite purges and reshuffles, economic stress, war-front losses and deep strikes on Russian territory, diplomatic isolation, domestic dissent, succession signals, and search demand for exit terms inside Russia.

How it’s scored. Seven inputs, each rated 0 to 10 daily by a human editor from dated, linked sources. The weighted average is multiplied by 10 for a 0 to 100 index; higher = more stress on the Kremlin.

What it is not. Not a prediction of any specific event: not a coup, not a collapse, not a market. A high PWI does not mean regime change is imminent; it is a public read on pressure. Full methodology →
