All power in the Russian Federation in the hands of Patrushev: Putin's circle tries to "make friends" with him - political scientist (video)

He said this on the YouTube channel "Looking for Exit". "Opportunities in the post -Putin future depend on the resources, the main force is in the hands of the Chekists and, in particular, their informal leader - Mykola Patrushev," Solovey said. According to the political scientist, now Putin's closest surroundings shows special signs of attention of the son of Patrushev - Dmitry. "They are trying to make friends with him.

These are the people who were in and are still formally in the top ten of Putin's closest people," the nightingale explained. At the same time, he claims that "the leader has not yet been written off" because they think that Putin can recover, although he personally does not think that the condition of the Kremlin's head is normalized.

The close environment, according to Valery Solovyi, includes those who do not have their own power resources: entrepreneur Gennadiy Tymchenko, brothers Boris and Arkady Rothenberg, Mikhail Kovalchuk, Alexei Miller. According to Nightingale, Russian security forces are dissatisfied with the fact that Putin in a narrow circle promised to transfer power and did not do so. Transit was to begin at the end of last year, but later he stated that the election would take place in 2024.

Russian security forces perceived it as a personal image and as a violation of Putin's obligations. The Kremlin chairman was to appoint Dmitry Patrushev by the Prime Minister and then announce what he was going. However, after the announcement of the order for the arrest of the International Criminal Court, the likelihood of such a result decreased sharply. "No one wants to go to the bottom.

No one wants to be on this list, and the list is, they say, there are other warrants, they are not publicly announced in public, but they are already written out," the nightingale said. The political scientist also added that the closest circle of Putin could not influence him and force him to change the position on the war in Ukraine, since this requires control of the force and such people in the Russian Federation.
