Oreshkin noted that it is too late to hope that the Russian dictator can be removed by electoral, legal procedures.
Elections of 2024 , which are being prepared in Russia, do not make any political sense. Their results are predictable if only because the concept of electronic voting, which no one can control, has already been introduced.
As explained on the air of the TV channel FREEDOM the number that is “drawn” on the computer will appear on the “surface”. This is how he commented on Putin’s preparations for the next presidential election in 2024. The rulers of the Russian Federation believe that they will take place after all, and Putin will take part in them.
“Of course, they are confident (of victory). The fact that the president will participate in the elections is not news, it is predictable, it is inevitable. The question is where they will find alternative idiots who will agree to act as a kind of spacer. It is clear that only Putin can win, that’s why the elections are started. He can’t leave power, because behind him is a whole trail of ordinary, criminal crimes and extraordinary crimes like genocide, war crimes, etc. Therefore, he has to sit under the umbrella of the atomic bomb for the rest of his life , which guarantees him what he calls security. For this he must be the chief. He is the de facto chief, because he sits on the bayonets. In principle, he does not need elections at all, as long as the power elites, the bureaucracy, called the nomenklatura, on his side, he retains power,” Oreshkin noted.
According to the political scientist, the most interesting thing in this story is that Putin also wants to look decent.
“He wants to win as if in a national election. This is a completely Soviet model psychologically, because it was clear that this was not an election. One candidate was chosen from one candidate, people were forcibly driven to the polling stations, no one was allowed to check the counting of votes, and then reported that 99.9% of the working people of the Soviet Union demonstrated unwavering support for the communist and non-party bloc. It was a ritual, but in the life of such primitive societies the ritual component is extremely important. So it is necessary that once every 5 years the president goes to the polls, or the entire Soviet people , all working people should go to the elections as a holiday, thus showing their love for the leading and directing power of the Soviet people in the person of the Communist Party. It is very important that this ritual component works, otherwise people are disoriented.”- continued the expert.
He emphasized that it is too late to hope that the Russian dictator can be removed by electoral, legal procedures.
“Putin has already destroyed the Russian state. Because there are a number of institutions in the state, including the institution of elections, the institution of judges, the institution of an independent press, the institution of private initiative, the institution of the constitution that protects you. All this is not there. That is why power in Russia changes with the help of elections it can no longer be changed. It can only be changed with the help of a coup, a conspiracy, a sentence, white slippers, “Newbie”, polonium, a dumbbell, a snuff box, a silk scarf or a shoelace – with the help of such political tools,” concluded Oreshkin.

Poopin has designed the entire government apparatus for himself. There is no second in command and no plan B. He has also brainwashed his flock to worship only him and everyone under 25 have only known ONE tiny man running their country. That is usually the more liberal group so ideologically there is only one choice in Moskovia. The notion of a post-putin life is likely unbearable for the flock of fools. But why would putin care? He doesn’t love ruzzia, he loves putin.
Putler has destroyed mafialand/ Oil exports are down 50% and gas exports are down 60%, and that doesn’t include figures from when the oil price cap come into effect.
Yep, and they are already running low on men in their nation. So many that they can’t even find enough to fill positions making fucking bombs…Vladolf’s favorite industry.
Some Kremlin leaks have occurred in reference to Putin’s increasing infirmity/indisposition.
While Zelenskyy’s comment on Putin’s staged appearances, including in front of green screens upon which computer-generated illusions of background reality appear, are provable indicators of the latter’s dissociation & departure from reality, he may not be completely dead today or next week.
He is still another event-filled 11 months from the present 11 month war, before convincing admittedly deluded voters of this suicidal Russian course.
Most diseases of elders offer them accelerating exit from life. While in MANY cultures, 70 years is some way before such deterioration, Russia’s mean lifespan for males has been passed by Putin some tie ago.
I’ve known a number of centenarians, a couple erudite and still producing incisive and enlightening overview of research, a few more physically and mentally energetic, one still taking stairs two at a time at 102, another bouncing like a lightweight boxer at 106.
The repetitious and dissimulating nature of Putin’s choices and obstinacy are contraindicators of the agility required to function.
And too few individuals in the world appear to understand the proven tenet that group decisionmaking makes inevitably superior choices over time than does direction by ANY individual. This, in fact, is the defect of dictators.
Putin fashioned a dictatorial state. The Soviet Union lasted for less than 70 years only through its escape from autarky – “Soviet” is Russian for “Council”, and you will notice that even such dissociated council falls increasingly behind the ever-renewing wellspring of adaptation.
Russia was heir to a simplistic militarized culture, the source of its preent crude culture of largely bovine followers of any canny and unethical “leader” with sufficiently Machiavellian and Narcissistic inclinations.
There is an old saw in Physics, concerning the recognition that the science advances ONLY WITH the Death of old physicists [due to their refusal to release of flawed heuristic distillations of what was known in the past].
Even “Revolution” means only “turnovers.” NO complex dynamical system can completely repeat, nor can persistent systems cling to past formulae.
Ukraine itself is an example of the human necessity to create a better, more moral society than any yet appearing. THIS is its struggle, hidden by the brutal crude invasion of the most backward society presently in existence.
Corruption is endemic in cultures toxified by the successful unconstrained.
Law is an effort to make human groups healthy, survivable. How long and how healthily can YOU live when believing and seeing all else, all others, as inimical?
Aging is at BEST, wisdom and generosity. When these, and the quest for these, are abandoned, nothing but despair and disintegration ensue.
No Russia in any iteration of its present form CAN persist. This is NOT a matter which we can affect.
It dies of its OWN decrepitude.
I think that Percival Shelley in “Ozymandias the King” jolts us with Reality , if we read it as a child, informing us about the identity of reality and clouds, as another seer said:’shap[ing] themselves, and go[ing].
THIS is reality, evanescent, finally ephemeral, never the same, never twice. Putin has lived in delusion , though his dementia differed , as does everything, in unique etiology.
As for Tomorrow, What are OUR poisonous delusions?
“Confident of victory.”
Tragedy is initiated by hubris.
