The current head of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, who hails from the Khmelnytsky region, Valentina Matviyenko, was being trained as the successor to Vladimir Putin.
Vladimir Putin himself invited Valentina Matvienko, who supports the aggressive policy of the head of the Kremlin and the war against Ukraine, to become his successor, but this should be on his terms.
This was told by a former friend of the Russian dictator Sergei Pugachev in an interview with Olesya Batsman.
“I know Valya very well. Valentina was Putin’s successor at one time … She was the most likely successor even before Medvedev and Sergey Ivanov. She was then the governor of St. Petersburg. Putin really invited her, talked, offered to become a successor, and then when he tells her – in four years or four months – she (should leave. – Ed.), ”said Pugachev.
According to him, Matvienko at that time was not involved in corruption.
“Valentina, with all her betrayals and other things, unlike all this Putin’s team, is a determined person. I personally never heard any corruption (statements) from her. I’m sure that Putin’s team banned her as a successor … I remember People came to me and said: “Tell Volodya that Matviyenko told the whole city that she is the future president, they say, let’s line up, the distribution will begin now.” This, of course, was not so. didn’t suit me, because he is not a very accommodating person,” he said.
