Recently, the EU approved the 10th package of sanctions against Russia. Because of this, the Kremlin elite is afraid, because a large number of people close to Putin fall into it.
Political strategist Boris Tizenhausen stated this in a commentary on Channel 24 . According to him, the fear of the Kremlin elite arises every time after the next sanctions.
“Kremlin propagandists are complaining that their property abroad is being taken away from them,” he said.
Tizenhausen said that not the entire Russian elite has total fear. Like, the head of the Kremlin, at least, has several bunkers, but others who did not fuss in advance and now still cannot go abroad should be nervous. In addition, the Russian elite is losing its assets quite quickly and significantly.
“Some Russian oligarchs have lost up to 50% of their fortune. And some have already lost more,” the political strategist said.
Patience wouldn't run out
He noted that if the Russian elite had an understanding that another “half a year” and Vladimir Putin would end the war under any circumstances, they would endure it.
It does not matter at what point the Russian troops will be and in what condition their army will be. If they had such an understanding, then they would have sat and waited for those “half a year,” said Tizenhausen.
However, the oligarchs do not understand how much longer the dictator plans to play this “game”
Boris Tizenhausen believes that even if Ukraine reaches the 1991 borders this year, Putin may still not intend to end the war.
“That is, he will somehow sluggishly shoot the remnants of missiles, launch some new batches of martyrs, who are already extremely unfavorable compared to how it was at the beginning,” he said.

Oligarchs as victims
Russian oligarchs understand that the dictator is ready to sacrifice their capital and comfort , and that he does not care at all. The political strategist believes that in this case only Putin is good, because he can play this game “forever”.
“Even if one shahid arrives a month, he will call it a war. And the sanctions will not be lifted. And the Russian oligarchs will probably become completely impoverished” to zero “in the near future,” Tizenhausen said.
The scenario that Putin fears
According to Boris Tizenhausen, the Russians cannot stop Putin's “game”.
He believes, for example, in order to carry out a putsch in Russia – a military coup with the help of the military – you must first attract the support of a certain power wing.
“A group of oligarchs with their own media resources is two. Well, then start acting,” said Tizenhausen.
He is convinced that the Russian dictator, in principle, is afraid of such a scenario and does not believe in “grassroots rebellion.” Although recently, Vladimir Putin began to talk about possible models for the collapse of Russia.
“Putin has long known that Russia, as the legal successor of the USSR, to a certain extent, that there was a prison of peoples – artificially gathered peoples into a single union,” he said.
peoples prison
The political strategist noted that these peoples were held by force and thanks to the totalitarian regime. The same Russia – dozens of peoples who are in unequal conditions . Here it is enough to see how Muscovites, residents of St. Petersburg relate to the Buryats, he believes.
“On the territory, for example, of the same Yakutia, there are rich natural resources, diamond deposits. And Yakutia lives below the poverty line,” Tizenhausen said.
Like, how does it turn out that Moscow and St. Petersburg live perfectly, and those subjects where different peoples live on the territory of Russia live worse than the center.
Because, of course, it's unfair. It also turns out to be a kind of prison of peoples,” he said.
Therefore, Boris Tizenhausen noted, Putin is talking about the collapse of Russia.
“This is great, because I can't imagine if Putin, announcing the so-called “special operation” and then shouting at the next time of his speeches a year ago, spoke about the collapse of Russia,” he said.
This, the political strategist believes, is a very good indicator.
