At first, the Kremlin elites considered the candidacy of the current Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin, but it is possible that the opposition leader Navalny may become the new head of Russia.
Russian elites are considering removing Putin from power. While this seems incredible, it is possible that the next head of the Russian Federation will be opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
This was stated by the head of the independent international intelligence community Bellingcat Hristo Grozev in an interview “Commander-in-Chief“.
“At the very beginning, we saw that the Kremlin tried in every possible way to keep the hands of individual members of the elite “clean” in order to use them after a while just in case, if necessary,” Grozev said.
According to him, in the place of Putin in the event of an unfavorable development of the situation, at first they considered, in particular, the current Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin.
“However, his hands were eventually soiled with involvement in the war. In the event that the secretive rebels, who are the absolute majority in the presidential entourage, have the opportunity to cement the results of the social revolution, Alexei Navalny may well come to power after the elections. By the way, he has already announced that if he becomes at the helm, he will demand from the oligarchy 30% of their fortune in favor of the state budget. In any case, losing 30% under Navalny is much better for them than 90% during Putin’s rule, “said the investigative journalist .
Recall that the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is in prison. On March 22, 2022, the Lefortovsky District Court of Moscow sentenced Navalny to 9 years in prison in a strict regime colony.
Operation Successor
Earlier, Russian opposition political scientist Abbas Gallyamov said that the Kremlin elites desperately looking for optionsto prevent riots in Russia itself after the defeat in the war. One option is the so-called “operation successor”.
American General Ben Hodges expressed the opinion that the scandalous head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov and the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin preparing for the collapse of Russiaand therefore create their own armies.
Former British military intelligence officer Philip Ingram suggested that Putin’s successor it will be Prigogine.
At the same time, Khristo Grozev noted that recently between Putin and Prigogine confrontation ensues.
