Putin's successor: Zelensky answered who can replace the Kremlin head

OP answered who would become the next President of Russia after the election of 2024, assessing the chances of three applicants for the chair. The next President of the Russian Federation, after Vladimir Putin, may be one of the three main contenders for his chair, which has been said in the media recently.

However, are persons like Dmitry Medvedev, Mykola Patrushev or his son Dmitry are able to lead the country? In an interview with Channel 24, the adviser to the chairman of the Presidential Office of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, replied who would head Russia after Putin. Podolyak commented on each of Putin's circle, whom they have been told about the possible next President of Russia lately.

According to the adviser to the head of the OP, Dmitry Medvedev has long acts as the Kremlin clown, but even it is not able to cope well. And yet Medvedev will perform the function of Shuta to the end. "Today, even in Russia, few people are positive. Former aggressor president does not affect or make any decisions. He cannot be a candidate for dictators, because no one simply believes that Shut is a dictator," he said Podolyak. He noted that those who assume some Putin replacement are wrong.

"It was a conspiracy of elite. The Russian president and his" Politburo "were built a specific political structure that has its properties. In order for this design to continue to work, a figure of Putin level is needed. Everyone was afraid to break the internal elite arrangements that were made in Putin, "Podolyak added.

Podolyak believes that Dmitry Patrushev's son - the son of Putin's colleague, the chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Mykola Patrushev - is "lacking in charisms". "He is not an influential person for political elites. Senior Patrushev, perhaps even though he raises questions, and the younger one is a fiction at all," Podolyak said.

In his opinion, as soon as the core of the system changes, the elites will be offered to rewrite their internal contract in order to reach some new arrangements as to who and what it can claim. Podolyak noted that this could be accelerated. And for this purpose - to destroy the base myth that Putin is a bold, influential person who controls all processes. "This is what Evgeny Prigogine did," Mikhail Podolyak added.

In parallel, it is also necessary to destroy the myth that Russia is an invincible state with a powerful army and MIC. Ukraine is successfully working on this. So, it remains to finish the first part and involve Russia into internal strife. At the same time, in his opinion, the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Patrushev will do everything possible to lead his son Dmitry. However, Patrushev has no sufficient influence and resources to ensure the transition of Putin.

"It should be done as in late Yeltsin, when the immediate environment decided to transfer Putin's power without competitive political processes. There is no such resource in Patrushev. There are certain illusions, so attempts will be. However, they will not work. Failed war in Ukraine, ”Podolyak added. According to Podolyak, Putin depends on Patrushev. He no longer has a resource that he has had before the start of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, and now feels "not in his plate.

" "Patrushev has a completely different impact than before the start of a full -scale invasion. There is an irreversibility of certain historical processes even if they are small and invisible. Now Russian political elites lose confidence and hate each other. ", - said adviser to the head of the OP. He also added that the modern power of the Russian Federation is leading war simply for the sake of war.

It is the only political process for Russia that allows the elites to keep each other within those arrangements that were before the beginning of the Great War in Ukraine. We will remind, the spokesman of the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov stated that it is not necessary to doubt the victory of Vladimir Putin in the next elections of 2024. Peskov believes that after the election of the President of the Russian Federation will head "the same" Putin or "another, but the same.
