Khodorkovsky said that Putin is afraid to go to Russia, because “the risks are enormous.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin is afraid to go in Russia, said Russian opposition politician Mikhail Khodorkovsky in an interview with Russian new Yuri Dude, which is published in YouTube.
“Vladimir Vladimirovich, why don’t you go? Well, the honest answer is, Yes, I know it: “fear, Fear”. Rightly feared, the risks are huge,” he said.
On the remark of the journalist that the first President of Russia Boris Yeltsin could agree to it “do not touch” after retiring from the government, Khodorkovsky said that Putin does not be able to do.
“Sadly, Putin, unlike Boris Yeltsin, for which personal risk was still less important than country, for Putin, I’m afraid, I want to be wrong, but I believe that for him, personal risks, risks to the environment that they have to date largely manipulated, more important than the problems of the country. And that’s why it will be very hard to negotiate,” – said the politician.
Putin holds the position of President since may 2012. Prior to that, he led the country in 2000-2008. Presidential elections should be held in 2018. Putin about his intention to run is not stated.
