Vladimir Putin's uncertain future
Time
|July 24, 2023
WHEN VLADIMIR PUTIN DELIVERED A SPEECH JUST DAYS after surviving the greatest challenge to his 23 years in power, he sought to strike a defiant tone.
The Russian President described the armed convoy of thousands of Russian soldiers led by Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin as a "mutiny" designed to foment domestic turmoil, and its organizers as plotters who "betrayed their country." Yet in that June 26 speech, Putin did not reveal plans for punishment or retribution. He said that Prigozhin and his men would be free to go into exile in Belarus, Russia's vassal state next door.
This is not the traditional Putin playbook, according to Bill Browder, who would know better than most. The London-based financier has spent more than a decade exposing corruption and human-rights abuses in Russia. Browder has personally faced the ire of the Kremlinwhich declared him a threat to Russian national security in 2005 and he has seen his friends and colleagues jailed and even killed for their activism. One such friend, the prominent Russian journalist and Putin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza, was sentenced in April to 25 years on charges of treason.
Speaking to TIME by phone the day after Putin's address to his country, Browder discussed the aftermath of the failed Wagner rebellion and the future of the man who has led Russia longer than anyone else since Joseph Stalin.
Prigozhin was able to get within 124 miles of Moscow before his forces turned around. Is Putin the omnipotent autocrat observers believed he was?

The journalist and the jinx in a suburban standoff
CLAIRE DANES GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION for her “cry face.” It is, indeed, a sight to behold. Engulfed by waves of sorrow, her chin vibrates, her eyes scrunch, the corners of her mouth turn down as though tugged by invisible weights.

LIVING IN PUBLIC
“The camera eats first.” A decade ago, that phrase was a joke about influencers and their avocado toast. Now it's shorthand for how every corner of life—dinners, cleaning, milestones, even grief—can be packaged for public consumption. We live in a world where intimacy has become inventory, where the difference between living and posting is often just a matter of lighting.

The food pyramid may be back on the menu
EARLY PUBLIC NUTRITION ADVICE CAME AS A WARNING. Wilbur O. Atwater, a chemist and renowned nutritionist, wrote in an 1902 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) digest, Farmers' Bulletin, that \"Unless care is exercised in selecting food, a diet may result which is one-sided or badly balanced—that is, one in which either protein or fuel ingredients (carbohydrate and fat) are provided in excess ... The evils of overeating may not be felt at once, but sooner or later they are sure to appear.\"

A seductive Dangerous Liaisons remix, with feminist intentions
There are no heroes in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel of end-stage French aristocratic decadence. Its chief villain is Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, a master manipulator who exploits her former lover the Vicomte de Valmont's resurgent desire for her with a wager that dooms them both. As a teenage Fiona Apple dryly noted: “It's a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy just because she can.”
