Analyst says Putin is repeating Hitler's fatal mistakes.< /p>
President Vladimir Putin is often compared to Hitler, who until April 1945 believed in his victory.
How appropriate such a comparison is and why Putin believes that he has some kind of strength to conditionally implement his plan to revive the USSR, explained political scientist, expert at the United Ukraine Analytical Center and teacher at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Petr Oleshchuk.
“This is a rather complicated issue, involving many relevant elements, many components. Indeed, in many ways Putin resembles Hitler, including such features as the lack of a systematic education, which is replaced by reading some kind of conspiracy literature, this is mysticism, adherence to mystical signs “That is, there are many parallels. I believe that the main thing here is that Putin, pursuing such an aggressive policy for a long time, did not face sufficiently serious resistance. Putin's experience is great, for example, aggression against Georgia, Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea, in the end “, the genocide of his own people in Russia and the North Caucasus. Putin's logic is as follows: sooner or later they will come to an agreement with me. I have a big state, I have a lot of gas. They are still weak, but I am strong. I am strong, because that I am an unchanging dictator and no one can move me. And they always have some kind of elections, “the expert noted.
From Putin's point of view, elections are weakness. Because this is always some kind of change of power, new people come and they are constantly forced to answer to voters, to promise them something, Oleshchuk believes.
“Putin believes that he has unlimited permanent power, and Ukraine cannot devote all resources to the war, as he does. According to his logic, sooner or later he will win anyway, you just need to wait and deal with internal enemies more. I see that he, like all dictators, falls into this conspiracy nonsense.We see how repressions are intensifying in Russia for completely idiotic reasons, like the fact that someone read some comment on the Internet, etc. Obviously, this fear is intensified because they are afraid of these very internal enemies, conspiracies.I think that the key reason is that Putin believes that within his consciousness he is strong, and everyone else is weak, he believes that historically he is right, despite all the victims. This is the nature of any unlimited dictatorship – the dictator sooner or later breaks away from reality and begins to live in his own fictional world. The interests of ordinary people do not interest him. All this fully reflects Putin, it seems to me, “add l he.
Recall that the British military analyst Michael Clark said that, despite the absence of signs of a coup in the Russian Federation, there is tension within the Kremlin. And it is constantly growing due to failures at the front.
Earlier, political scientist Jason Jay Smart said that the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, could stage a coup d'état in Russia and take power away from Putin.
