Caught by surprise: in Russia, announced the name of the new successor to Putin

Such a turn of events nobody expected.

A likely candidate for the presidency of Russia is Vladimir Putin is the current defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Such opinion in interview was expressed by Russian journalist and TV presenter Yevgeny Kiselyov.

According to him, Russia now put forward two main versions of events in 2018.

“The first successor, and now in this capacity is often called Shoigu. In the autumn of changing the head of government, Sergei Shoigu or other successor becomes Prime Minister and wins in the eighteenth,” – said Kiselev.

While Kiselev noted that no version has no relation to reality, since “the decision in Russia takes one person”, and – at the last moment.

Answering the journalist’s question whether Putin’s departure, he said technically Yes, but with preservation of all power.

“Putin likes such moves, and in 2008-m have done so. In any revolutionary scenario, I don’t believe, although Russia is known for unpredictability in this sense. In any restructuring of the top – also: the experience of Gorbachev all taught. In the scenario of territorial disintegration. And I do not think that Putin is seriously committed to a large-scale military conflict as the main means of self-preservation. I think any serious event cannot be expected before the second half of the twentieth. It will be a time without news”, – said Kiselev.

He also acknowledged that it is difficult to make any forecasts of the situation in Russia.

“A distinctive feature of Russian politics of the Putin era – the fundamental opacity. The Kremlin is an absolute black box. I even think there purposely like to refute the rational construction”, – said Kiselev.
