Putin on the way out?

 

Mr popularity maybe

I do not pretend to be an expert on Russian politics.  If we go back to 1960 we're stand off between the Russian president and prime minister.  As there is no legally sound superior!

In the end Karpov won.  Who was succeeded by Brezhnev!  When we got to Gorbechov, he was ousted by the Russian oligarchs.  And was only brought back at a massive public sentiment!

Then Putin stepped in, with a bloodless coup d'état.  He has been the long list so burning Russian president since Stalin.  And has sporadic periods of mass unpopularity.

The war in the Ukraine has been the most massive own goal Russian national politics has ever scored.  Yevgeny Prigozhin seemed set to replace him, then presumably an exchange of a large number of Banknotes, bought him off!

But flu since popularity has continued to sink.  President Dmitry Medvedev never had a great popular uprising!  But rasher has no democratically elected opposition.

Democracy is it correct safety valve for political pressure!  Today the Russian State is and how are pressurised pressure vessel, waiting to blow.

Vladimir Putin and other top Russian politicians have become "weaker" during the past months of conflict against Kyiv, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has claimed.

The military leader believes a clear signal of this weakness within the Kremlin has been the short-lived mutiny led by Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Mr Reznikov told CNN: "This coup d'état is a real illustration that [the] regime in the Kremlin became weaker.

"It means they are not so strong as they were the year before. I think we will see the continuing of this so-called conflict."

Ukraine's defence chief also said to believe the beginning of a "transition moment" is underway in Moscow and those close to Putin are already planning to replace their leader.

I should not ruke Putin out.  He is a billionaire, who he uses his immense personal fortune, to buy himself a political future.  If you apply a Russian political expert, to get in touch!
