Putin offered up an unexpected and unusual appeal to history to discourage revolution this week.
He said that Russia reached its "limit" on revolutions last century.
"Such a blow was dealt to Russia in 1917, when the country was waging the First World War," Putin said, "but victory was stolen from it."
The Russian leader's remarks on the threat of revolution Wednesday are reminiscent of a 2021 address in which Putin stressed that Russia had reached its limit on revolutions, RBC reported.
"Russia," Putin said at the time," exhausted its limit on revolutions back in the 20th century.
