Putin himself raises the rebels. As the death of Prigogine radicalizes future protests in

Prigogine's death clearly shows that Putin does not trust his system, says blogger Yuri Bogdanov. At the same time, this step radicals all those who can still decide on a rebellion in Russia with regard to Prigogine and will say some more important things. If Putin wanted to look strong in all this story, he had two ways: Putin was not determined at the first scenario, he decided to cunning.

The second - whether the information had, whether the truth believed that all bullshit and conflict would not go beyond the hardware and information war. There was still a reputation light. Following the "agreements" on the safety of Prigogine stupidly to drive him under the table with criminal cases and to write for 20 years to prison. As Navalny. What happened yesterday is that Putin does not trust her system. And so Prigogine was clearly cleaned.

If the system is punished instead of demonstratively, it is afraid of repetition. They were cleaned to intimidate possible successors on the way of confronting Putin in his nearest circle. And this circle becomes narrower and narrower.

After the rebellion, there were two very marker events - the resignation of General Popov, who complained about the lack of people and technique when reflecting a counter -offensive (he was sent to Syria) and the arrest of Gorkin, who criticized the authorities for objective problems of the Russian army from right positions. Even Surovikin's resignation is not such a marker.

So, these two events have shown that the core of the regime will not perceive criticism even from like -minded people in the issue of war, that the main criterion for approaching Putin will be exceptional loyalty, and politically and hardware Putin went into the defense stage in the besieged fortress.

This is despite the fact that the dynamics of events on the front and the need for mobilization have already forced Putin to significantly strengthen the power of the governors and regional elites, making them already and in fact satraps in the classical sense of the word. That is, they can already form their own de facto private armies.

Therefore, the murder of Prigogine and his associates is, first of all, narrowing the tools from the complex (court, reducing reputation, deprivation of influence) to the primitive. When you just kill one and intimidate others. In the hope that does not explode. And at the same time radicals all possible future rebellions, and additionally create for them "books". Therefore, the logic "You will die today, and tomorrow I" in Putin's actions continues to dominate strategic plans.
