This report examines why local authorities, rather than the Kremlin, have increasingly become the primary targets of public frustration in Russia's regions. It explores how the fuel crisis, drone attacks, security concerns, and the deterioration of everyday life shape public sentiment, while the central government shifts responsibility for the consequences of the war onto governors and mayors. The monitoring covers the period from July 6 to 12, 2026, and is based on an analysis of regional VKontakte and Telegram communities.
