Appointing Relatives to Positions: Why Putin Changes His Entourage

Appoints relatives to positions: why Putin changes his entourage Alexandra Sadovaya

Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin has a huge number of phobias and does not trust anyone. Therefore, he forms a narrow circle of people whom he is forced to trust, from among his relatives. He appoints them to various important positions.

However, Putin does not have many such relatives either, so there is currently a certain “personnel shortage” for high positions in Russia. This was noted to Channel 24 by public figure, host of the YouTube resource “Khodorkovsky Live” Sergei Aslanyan.

Putin has no one to rely on

As Sergei Aslanyan noted, if you take all of Putin's women and children together, there are still not enough of them. Some of the dictator's sons are minors, so they cannot be appointed as heads of structures. He can't even give Alina Kabaeva an important position.

There is no one to rely on. There is a narrow circle of people whom he is forced to trust at least on the basis of kinship. During a crisis, you understand that your own will most likely betray you last. Therefore, they need to be promoted and put in very important positions so that something depends on them, so that they are outstanding figures, he said.

After all, a dictator needs relatives to be in ministerial offices, in financial flows and in responsible positions. But Putin is at a dead end here, because he is incredibly afraid for his life.

Recall that on June 17, Putin resorted to personnel changes. In particular, he appointed new deputy defense ministers. Among the other officials was Anna Tsivileva, who is the Russian dictator's cousin. He subsequently awarded her the rank of Actual State Counselor of the 3rd class, which corresponds to the military ranks of Major General and Rear Admiral.
