Who can replace Putin/Collage 24 Channel

The race for the “throne” of the future successor to the head of the Kremlin has already begun in Russia. Although the race has not yet been announced by the “owner of the hippodrome,” that is, Vladimir Putin.

Communications Advisor for the Legion “Freedom of Russia” Alexey Baranovsky helpedChannel 24understand this situation. Read more about three possible candidates for the role of “Putin’s successor” in our material.

The first probable successor

One of the likely candidates is Sergei Kiriyenko , First Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration. He is trying in every possible way to show himself from the “best” side to the Russian dictator. Kiriyenko is constantly in sight and says what Putin wants to hear.

Kiriyenko is trying to show that he is worthy of being appointed successor by Putin. All the political games around the occupied territories, that “it has become better and more fun to live there,” concerts on Red Square, this whole propaganda machine is Kiriyenko,” Baranovsky noted.

The second probable successor

A representative of the security forces and the head of the Tula region, Alexey Dyumin, is also vying for the role of successor. He contributed to the occupation of Ukrainian Crimea in March 2014, then Putin drew attention to his “leadership qualities”, secretly awarding him the title of “Hero of Russia.”

A very correct figure: he is connected to the GRU, he annexed Crimea, he is loyal to Putin, and his last name is not Kadyrov. In fact, different clans and groups have such ambitions (to become the successor to Channel 24). But it doesn’t look like Putin was going to organize this “race.” However, they are running just in case, Baranovsky emphasized.

Third probable successor

And, of course, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev with his “nuclear potential” is trying to participate in the race.

So, earlier Putin’s henchman said that “the idea of ​​punishing the country that has the greatest nuclear potential is absurd in itself And potentially poses a threat to the existence of humanity.”

Casting as such has not been announced at this time. But those who dream of becoming a successor are making efforts to become Putin’s “beloved wife,” said Alexei Baranovsky.

The Russian dictator is scared in the world and in Russia

• Putin is so afraid of his citizens that for the second year in a row he canceled the “direct line” with them. We are talking about communicating with Russians live and answering their questions. ISW also noted that the delay of the “direct line” forum further illustrates Putin’s decline.
• Back in the spring, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Putin for the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russian territory. Now the dictator is afraid to stick his nose out even to those countries that have not ratified the Rome Charter, such as Turkey.
• Against the backdrop of the rebellion of the late Prigozhin, the raid of Russian volunteers and the discontent of his own citizens, Putin decided to strengthen the National Guard. The dictator signed a law to equip his army with heavy equipment.
