There are no leaders: why volunteers with RDCs or opposition will not be able to disrupt Putin's re -election - Fesenko (video)

Public revolutions in Ukraine have always been more powerful and longer, and their participants were more consistent and, as a rule, they were not only involved in the opposition, but also had significant support for the public, says political scientist Vladimir Fesenko.

Russian volunteer units that have entered Belgorod region will in no way affect Putin's re -election, how exactly the opposition part of the Russian Federation, which was left without a leader after the death of Alexei Navalny, will not affect. Other famous opposition participants have long been behind bars, while others are abroad and cannot fully resist the Kremlin. Political scientist Vladimir Fesenko told this in an interview with focus.

In his opinion, the Russian opposition has not yet determined how to act in order to undermine Putin's legitimization procedure for the next presidential term. In Russia, there is really a social base for opposition, there are dissatisfied people, but they cannot actively manifest themselves yet, although sooner or later it will happen.

Although in recent years the Russian Federation has indeed had one single mass protest in Khabarovsk, when they were removed and sent to the prison of a local governor, the political scientist said. However, it did not produce any results. "The Kremlin was looking at these rallies through the fingers because they were happening somewhere very far, not in Moscow or the nearby cities," Fesenko says.

"It is important for successful confrontation between the authorities that protests occur in the capital or capitals, as in the case of the Russian Federation ". Recalling public revolutions in Ukraine, the political scientist notes that our protests have always been more powerful and longer.

They were more motivated more consistent and, as a rule, not just opposition or dissatisfied people participated in these protests, but there was a great support for public opinion, there was a parliamentary opposition that supported these protests. "In Russia, the local elites are not involved in protests, so it leads to a loss," Fesenko says.

"So a prerequisite for Russian protests should be a split among elites, powerful large -scale crisis trends and the middle class will then be able to declare itself. " However, according to the political scientist, any protests or their attempts are beneficial to Ukraine today. However, not about local problems, but against Russian aggression. Recall that on February 29, the European Parliament has questioned Putin's legitimacy.
