Russian opposition politician Ihor Yakovenko does not believe that a collective event can bet on Prigozhin.
Russian opposition politician, sociologist and journalist Ihor Yakovenko believes that if Vladimir Putin is removed from the Kremlin regime, it will immediately collapse. At the same time, the so-called “special operation” will end immediately.
“Putin returned to a large extent the role of the KGB, which was destroyed under Yeltsin. But it was not the special services that were in charge, they were managed by people from the special services, whom Putin very skillfully divided into clans. Individual representatives of the FSB really got enormous power and enormous opportunities. But this is not the FSB, but this his representatives,” he said on the air.
The politician is sure that if Putin himself can be removed from this structure, then the whole structure will collapse.
“Many fascist dictatorships are holding on, they are personal regimes, and therefore if Putin is removed from this structure, it will certainly fall. Or at least there will be something completely different. He involved a huge number of people in this criminal war and a huge number of people became war criminals. “Practically the whole country will bear responsibility for this crime. But if Putin is removed from this now, the war will end immediately,” Yakovenko added.
He said that the heads of the special services, Patrushev and Bortnikov, are quite skeptical of Prigozhin and probably won’t really want him to become the head of the country.
“The West is not ready to accept this. The West is still very cautious and prefers the known evil to the unknown. I do not rule out that in principle they are ready to tolerate the preservation of Putin’s power, because this is a known evil, but Prigozhin is generally the devil, and on the side bow. , it is not clear what it is. And therefore a cautious measure. I do not think that he is ready to welcome Prigozhin really with such a background, a person who had several criminal articles. I do not think that a collective measure can bet on Prigozhin” – said the politician.
Putin’s possible successors: details
Former employee of the British military intelligence Philip Ingram believes that the founder of the private military company “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin still remains the favorite of the head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and his direct political “heir”.
Publicist and political scientist Andriy Piontkovskyi said that the US is negotiating with China, in particular about the fate of Putin, his mail and family. In particular, they can ask Beijing to persuade the Kremlin czar to leave the country.
