< p _ngcontent-sc89="" class="news-annotation">Throwing Putin out of the Kremlin and temporarily leading Russia can be done by anyone with the right tools. There are at least five such characters.
This opinion was expressed by political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman on Channel 24. He does not believe that post-Putin Russia will have a collective leadership of local elites. This is very similar to the so-called “gkchp”. Everyone knows how this story ended. And no one will repeat this.
In his opinion, it is quite a real option when a certain group of Russians can elect a new interim president by a joint decision.
What is important. The person who decides to send Putin to the hospital is not the fact that he will get to the presidency. These are unrelated things. One can make such a decision, and then they will decide together who can be the new president,” Sheitelman noted.
Who can be Putin’s successor
According to Sheitelman, candidates really many . And it is very difficult to accurately predict here. It can be like the head of the Russian government Mikhail Mishustin, Secretary of the Security Council Nikaley Patrushev or his son or the head of the central bank Elvira Nabiullina. Another option is Yury Kovalchuk, a businessman close to Putin.
However, Sheitelman suggested another “exotic” option.
By the way, “Putin's cook” Prigogine is a fresh candidate. Can replace. Since he can be a cook, he can be Putin himself,” Sheitelman noted.
