now this is very interesting and detail I didn't know .....if putin serves out his next term in office he will be the longest leader in power in russia since the 1700's ......if for ny reason not , these are the influential men around him ......
Mishutin - a technocrat - distanced himself from the invasion
no military background , not someone seeking powerful alliuances - does his job
Valentina Matvienko -upper house leader , supporter of invasion
Sergei Shoigu- we know about
Dimitri Mevedev- ditto , very loyal
then the outsiders .....
Sergey Sobyanin - Mayor of Moscow , capable , loyal , avoided talking about Ukraine
Nikolia and Dimitri Patrushev- father/son -extreme nationalist father ....the so more viable
the unlikely .....
Boris Nadehzdin - the man wasn't allowed to stand against putin - brave enough to oppose - a close associate of an opposition figure putin had assasinated in 2015
some good comments at the end
