Amid various rumors about Putin's death, questions arise about who makes decisions in the Kremlin. Now one of the close associates of the Russian president may be in charge there.

A former employee of the KGB and the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Zhirnov, told Channel 24 about this, noting that now the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev could significantly strengthen his position in the Kremlin.

In this case, you should pay attention to one of Patrushev’s speeches, which took place on November 4. On social networks, many were surprised that he constantly talked about Putin in the past. He was also dressed in black.

Everything looked like an obituary. This is especially surprising given the background of hearing about the death of the Russian president.

Who could be Putin's successor?

As Zhirnov emphasized, during his speech Patrushev made a long ideological speech for 30 minutes. Putin himself usually did this. But this time why was it Patrushev who did it?

The Secretary of the Russian Security Council is the third person in the state. The first is Putin. The second is his deputy Medvedev. But for some reason Patrushev spoke. So he showed that the main thing is now. And Peskov confirmed this. When they asked him how he felt about Patrushev’s words, he replied that “Patrushev is the Kremlin. Everything that Patrushev says is also the Kremlin.” The press secretary of the Russian president says that everything that Patrushev says should have been said by Putin. But for some reason Patrushev spoke, says Zhirnov.

During his speech, Patrushev praised the development of agriculture in Russia a lot. It is not surprising that the corresponding ministry is headed by his son Dmitry. There has long been information that Patrushev Sr. wants to promote his son to the post of President of Russia. This could very well happen.

The situation in Russia: briefly

• Putin appeared in public after reports of his own death on October 27. Local media showed him allegedly holding a conference call
• Then Ukrainian intelligence noted that such rumors should be responded to with caution. Most likely, the stuffing was done not only for the Ukrainian audience, but also to test the reaction in Russia.
• Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov assured that in fact everything is fine with Putin. And the information in the media is fake.
