Recent speculations surrounding Vladimir Putin’s potential resignation have stirred considerable interest and intrigue in Russia.
Asses Loyalty Amon Inner Circle
While the idea of Putin stepping down seems far-fetched, two recent signals have prompted discussions about the Russian leader possibly fading from the political spotlight. On several russian social media sites people have noticed a mix-up during a televised event.
According to SE, this has lead to ongoing rumors that indicate a calculated move to assess loyalty among Putin's inner circle.
On one hand, a social media post from the controversial account General SVR — allegedly run by former Russian intelligence agents — claims that the real Putin may have died a year ago, and a body double has been assuming his role.
Hinted at Resigning Supreme Commander
This theory is still unverified. But it has captured public attention. The account suggests that Putin will soon announce his resignation and transition to the position of Chairman of the Constitutional Court.
This change is said to coincide with proposed constitutional amendments and a restructuring of the State Duma, where Putin’s party would retain a significant majority.
Adding to the intrigue, prominent Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov made surprising remarks during a recent broadcast, hinting at the need for the resignation of the "Supreme Commander," a title held by Putin.
While Russian media attempted to downplay his words, suggesting he mispronounced a term, the very mention of resignation by a figure of his influence raises eyebrows.
As these developments unfold, many question whether they reflect an actual shift in power or are part of a broader strategy to solidify Putin's control amidst challenges from Ukraine and discontent at home.
