Kremlin thaw. Why in the Russian press began to criticize Putin

The founder of the Wagner PEC Yevgeny Prigogin, also known as the "chef of Putin" and the father of the Russian "Troll Factory" suddenly stated that there were no Nazis in Ukraine, and only the Ukrainian military and not NATO were fighting against the Wagnets. In his own words, Prigogine actually denied the Kremlin mantra, voiced by Putin on the eve of full -scale intervention - about "denacification" and a threat to the Alliance.

For a long time, Prigogine has declared that he has lost access to Putin, his passes into departmental buildings have been canceled, and no one answers the phone calls. The other day, the Chairman of the Wagner PEC in general made a sensational forecast that the Armed Forces will strike in Russian Bryansk. According to Prigogine, this will be an effective argument for future negotiations with the Russian leadership.

"An Armed Forces with a high probability in mid -April will begin a number of counter -offensive operations. The high probability that one of the blows will fall in our territory - in the area of ​​Belgorod," said Prigogine "Federal News Agency. " By the way, the media is associated with its "troll factory".

The former military leader of the so -called "DNR" Igor Girkin (Strelkov), whom the Hague District Court condemned in absentia to life imprisonment for involvement in the terrorist attack, which resulted in the shot of the flight of MH 17 flight, in general, Putin was predicted by the fate of Saddamma Kaddan, Slobodan. "Vladimir Vladimirovich, shut up. Just shut up, be silent.

Recently, an audio recording of a telephone conversation between the Russian billionaire Farhad Akhmedov and the music producer Joseph Prigogin (husband of singer Valeria) appeared on the network. During the conversation, which took place two months ago, the interlocutors noted that Putin was a media ager and was never a real leader. And as of today, he "actually killed the Russian people. " The manifestations of criticism of Putin and his environment in Russian society are not a new phenomenon.

However, only you can criticize and very cautious. At the beginning of 2023, the American Institute for the Study of the War noted that the same as Evgeny was granted informal permission to criticize power - and he began criticizing "detached from the lives" of officials and the administration of the President of the Russian Federation.

In the analytical environment, it is said that the Kremlin has allowed Prigogine to easily criticize the authorities in exchange for the rest of his military leadership. It is during that period that the greatest wave of criticism of Russian generals for the Ukrainian counter -offensive in the east in the south of Ukraine.

The Russian edition "Project" even published an investigation stating that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation ordered praise articles for generality from Russian journalists and military bloggers. But to defeat the Prigogine Trolls "there could not. The experts interviewed by focus remind that in Russian media, which are actually the mouthpiece of the Kremlin propaganda, nothing just appears. Any message should be verified in the Kremlin offices.

At the same time in the regional press. Publications about infrastructure or household problems are emerging. Like the absence of water, roads, medical support. For the highest levels, discussions on the prospects of holding the so -called "your" and its consequences for the country begin at the highest levels. . There, if the winner, then he is one, if he is guilty - then the leader himself.

Putin's surroundings are dissatisfied with the state of things, he could not carry out the so -called "his" in two weeks, the country has been stuck in the war for more than a year and no prospects were visible. The environment tries to try on a powerful mantle, everyone wants to say that he would have done in his own way. So now the period begins, as the classics, from who is guilty to - what to do? " - says the focus political analyst Alexander Kochetkov.

As for the radical statements of Gorkin, Russian publicist Andrey Piontkovsky explained last year that he was the Kremlin Retrans. Putin's noticeable manifestations of Putin's criticism come from the so -called "Ultra -Fashist Party". This group is not very popular with society, but they are heard because their voices are supported by part of the top, some towers of the Kremlin, " - said Piontkovsky.

Political expert of the Ukrainian Institute of the Future Games Popov, commenting on the situation for focus, believes that he said when he started when he started. Putin's criticism is visible to the signs that he has lost the status of Russia's main arbitrator. If every misunderstanding, everyone was waiting for his reaction, now, on the contrary, everyone is talking about him. The presidential election should take place in the Russian Federation.

Putin still has not answered whether they plan to participate in them. The incumbent President has no serious competitors, as well as real achievements with which you can go to the polls. The decision to invade Ukraine has turned for Russian dictator by sanctions, international isolation and stagnation of the national economy and by army losses. "drawn" sociological services figures of Putin's support in reality can be swollen m rating.

That is why the environment wants to understand how much the voter of the incumbent president is ready to continue to support him. This is one of the reasons for the unprecedented pluralism of the thoughts observed in Russia lately. "There is still no final decision on Putin's participation in the upcoming presidential elections. There may be doubts in the environment that he will be able to react for the next term.

Therefore, they are reacting now to be ready in case if the power is completely overrun Russian Federation. It can be said that the Kremlin towers are considering the situation with a probable redistribution of power. Therefore, someone is running through the road, makes provocative statements, " - explains the focus of Popov.

At the end of September 2022, the Russian Sociological Center "Levada-Center" estimated that the share of Russian citizens that believe that cases in the country were in the right direction, decreased. If in August there were 67%of such respondents, then in the first autumn month this level fell to 60%. And 27% of citizens surveyed believe that Russia is moving the wrong way. It was at that time that Putin signed a decree on partial mobilization in the country.
