"Was not a charismatic politician." To what Putin prepares his daughter and whose impact on the dictator has intensified - interview with the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

- a co -leader of the importation group of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs? - What does it mean? - This will have to be followed. Two weeks ago, his daughter [Catherine] Tikhonova became a co -friend of this group. What does this group do? It is essentially one of the negotiations with key partners of the Russian Federation (especially India, China) for import substitution, which is now Alfa and Omega for the Russian economy.

In fact, it brings it into the international plane and gives it some experience to ensure that it becomes political status in the elites. So far, all this is done very carefully, without unnecessary movements. And so far we do not hear any public statements from her, so we will need to follow something. But it is likely that in this way he tries her slowly, carefully implement it to Russian not only foreign but also domestic policy.

- It is probably too early to speak about it, but: can it become a successor? Does he prepare it? - So far, it is really too early to talk about. As of now, we can state that she has been given some political status that will be able to allow her to go into public or relatively public policy. Will she use it? Will she want to do it? Until now, she was very closed and clearly not looks like a charismatic politician who wants and can do similar things.

- Putin was not charismatic at the beginning of the zero and did not seem to be politics if I was not mistaken. - The absolute truth, but he still had a position - he was the head of the FSB. And here only the co -chair of one of the groups, not even the head. Especially they gave the co -chair in case if there were some failed stories in import substitution, so that it does not fall on it, and to be guilty of another co -chair.

- You also analyze what is happening in their domestic policy, surrounded by Putin. There are staffing in the government. The group of technocrats, as you call them, is intensified-Siluanov-Gref-Kierienko. There is a cleaning of the old frames and the environment of Yeltsin.

How does this group intensify and affect Putin? - A group of technocratic people is not a vertically integrated group, but a horizontal, where certain politicians do not unite because they have a certain leader on whom they are guided; And for the interests and because they are sharing nothing, and because they have a plus/minus the same vision of how Russia should develop.

This is first and foremost [Elvira] Nabiullin, the head of the National Bank [RF], [Michael] Mishustin, Prime Minister, it is [Sergey] Kiriyenko, [the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation] and a number of other people. First of all, we need to talk about Kirienko, who has now received a card-blanche to create vertically power in the occupied territories of Ukraine, on the one hand. On the other hand, he placed several governors during his last rotation.

If we talk about who is Kirienko, we need to understand that he is part of the Kovalchuk structure. There are two groups of influence that are closest to Putin. This is a group of Kovalchuk - people who have long been familiar with Vladimir Putin. And on the other hand, it is a group of [Mykola] Patrushev, NSDC head. These are two groups that have really increased very seriously. They are now Putin's main environment for this day.

- What do they prepare their population? Our authorities, in particular in private conversations, are worried that on September 11 in the occupied territories Russia can hold a pseudo -referendum and illegally attach Kherson. - They say in direct text that these territories will be attached. Therefore, in the heads of most Russians there is no other option than annexation of these territories.
