Infighting among Putin's lieutenants seems to reveal signs of 'deep dysfunction'After spending more than two decades building a rigidly controlled political system, Russian President Vladimir Putin is silently watching increasingly raucous infighting that has emerged among top members of his entourage amid the war in Ukraine.
