Named a few possible successors.
In the Kremlin, exacerbated the struggle for power, there are several candidates for the position of successor to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin.
This was told by Russian historian and political scientist Andrei Zubov.
“…While confidence in Putin is great, but it is clear that it is falling, literally like shagreen leather in Balzac’s story, every month. And the government understands this, by the way, is better than society, and is terrified. And takes a variety of efforts: to strengthen the repressive measures before attempting to do the conclusion of a new contract with society. And started and aggravated with each passing month struggle within the government. While not against Putin, but “under Putin” for the second person, the person of the successor. And we know those players: the FSB, the mayor, Volodin, Kadyrov”, – said Teeth.
According to him, there is a big fight that breaks the political field of Russia.
“In this situation, I think, may be a variety of outputs, but the least plausible crackdown – there’s no possibilities. Because the country is impoverished. People are already experiencing much higher standard of living than they are now, dissatisfied. The poverty level is growing constantly. In this situation it is necessary to do only one thing – to reconnect with the world, to lift the sanctions. The methods that are now trying to achieve with Putin and Lavrov, it does not work and never will. The only way is to return to the position it was in before the war in the Donbass, to settle the situation in Ukraine, in Syria, to return the occupied territories to resolve the situation with Georgia,” – said the analyst.
According to Zubova, if Russia will not be sanctions, it will inevitably slide into social disaster.
“Positive resource power is exhausted: it was used when he annexed Crimea (as a result of annexation 2014 – ed.). Was a lot of enthusiasm, but nothing more attached, and to attach no more. Will only increase frustration. Need to find the part of the Russian elite, which is ready and can “settle” out of the impasse, in which Putin has put Russia, and which will enjoy the confidence of the West.
It should be a people known for our principled position on combating the crimes and outrages of recent years. If these people are the elite Russian find, then perhaps, the recovery of Russia. And the other way is the way of a social explosion from below, as in Ukraine.
Of course, as you know, it’s a hard, destructive way, and creativity comes not soon. Not to say that this social explosion is inevitable, but it will be very probable…” – he said.
