If a revolution breaks out in Russia, it will be brutally suppressed. The government is no stranger to acting tough. The situation in Kazakhstan has already shown that. They will not be bothered to use law enforcers from Belarus against their own population at the first suspicion, which will be difficult.

There is too much of a cult built around the current government. If it were possible that everyone would just take over, it would also mean that we would have changed the ruler long ago without such methods. Putin wins elections consistently. Even omitting the situation that there is no one to choose from anyway, it was always possible to vote for someone other than Putin. But we still have the same president.

Tampering with votes has a place. It's always been there. It happens at all levels. At the municipal level, at the regional level, and finally at the state level. But the thing is that it is not always necessary. The old generation is brainwashed by propaganda. Everyone who watches television. The Russian media. Yes, even without the war, we were beginning to have regions where the opposition was almost winning. The opposition would have won, but the people at the top of the government are extremely impudent and do not hesitate to openly cheat.

I understand your idea. It's just what happens. If a situation where everyone comes out in a bloody revolution is possible, it would also mean that we would probably have already gradually replaced the entire government with the opposition in a few elections. Of course, I think the balance of power would really change. There will be more people for the opposition. I'd like to believe that there will really be a lot of them. I would like to believe that there will be a revolution, and that it will not be bloody. But if there is, it will be a civil war. There won't be few casualties. That's terrible. But there is no more choice. They took our choice away a long time ago. If the authorities see that the agitation does not work somewhere, they do not hesitate to rearrange and reshuffle everything to suit their needs, openly, without fear of condemnation. They are used to working from a position of strength.

One of the parlament members floated the idea of seizing (*) people's savings to offset the effects of the sanctions.

Though "floated" doesn't quite capture it - he apparently "explained" that this will be necessary and "reminded" that the government will have no choice but to "arrest" the savings of Russians to deal with the crisis. To a question of whether these funds will be repaid, he said that it'll take several generations to to do so, at which point it will all be eaten by an inflation.

They are all puppets, so it doesn't matter who said it exactly and in which context. It's the message that matters. And the message is chilling.

Lattice confinement fusion eliminates massive magnets and powerful lasers

Existing fusion reactors rely on the resulting alpha particles—and the energy released in the process of their creation—to further heat the plasma. The plasma will then drive more nuclear reactions with the end goal of providing a net power gain. But there are limits. Even in the hottest plasmas that reactors can create, alpha particles will mostly skip past additional deuterium nuclei without transferring much energy. For a fusion reactor to be successful, it needs to create as many direct hits between alpha particles and deuterium nuclei as possible.
