There were few months so fatal for Russia as the month of March. If he has been rather successful to Vladimir Putin in recent years with his presidential victories in 2000, 2004, 2012 and 2018 or with the annexation of Crimea on March 18, 2014, this was not always the case.
An incubator of political destabilization, reversals of power or the slow agony of the forces in place, the month of March has in the past been the tragic scene of many deaths and assassinations of Russian officials. If in a way this coincidence thickens the mystery that surrounds the Kremlin and its functioning, it is above all revealing of a chronological fresco of the political history of Russia: convulsed and chilling, between attempts at reformism and conservative political games.
