Putin’s Empire Shrinks: The Signs Russia Is Losing Global Influence

Russia’s state TV still sells the image of a rising superpower. But in the real world, Russia’s influence is narrowing—and the signs are piling up. In today’s episode, I break down what “shrinking empire” looks like in practice: fewer reliable partners, less leverage abroad, and more dependence on a smaller circle of relationships. We’ll look at diplomacy, economics, energy, sanctions workarounds, arms exports, and how the war has changed the way other countries calculate risk when dealing with Moscow. This video is s a structured analysis of the trend lines: -where Russia is losing room to maneuver internationally -which regions are cooling off—and why -how reputational damage turns into real economic and political costs -what Russia still controls, and what it’s quietly losing -the big question: is this temporary… or the new baseline? As always on Insider Show, I’ll separate propaganda from observable reality—and connect the global picture to what it means for ordinary Russians, businesses, and the state budget.
