Russian political analyst Olga Kurnosova commented on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's dismissal of his longtime ally Dmitry Kozak from the Presidential Administration and the possibility of a coup d'état in the Kremlin.
"It's very simple: Putin has always tried to balance the situation around him, to prevent him from being surrounded by only people of the same position or representatives of the same clan. Today we see how the Kovalchuk clan ascends to almost all key positions. Yuri Kovalchuk's positions are strengthening, and many consider him the "gray cardinal" of the Kremlin, the person closest to Putin," she emphasized in an interview with Glavre.

The expert says that previously Putin would have tried to balance the situation with another person, and it was as such a "balancing" factor that he needed Dmitry Kozak.
“By the way, there was an old story about how Kozak was almost appointed Prosecutor General, but Putin changed his mind at the last minute. So for Putin, it was natural that Kozak stayed in the system for so long. But the fact that he decided to resign, or that Putin could perceive it as a betrayal because of his resignation, says a lot,” she explained.

The analyst also specified that current events show that Putin is changing – for the worse.

“And this is the worst side for everyone: for the world around him, because this is a step towards even more serious tightening of the rules, although, it would seem, everyone has tightened them a long time ago. Nevertheless, this means that the number of sensible people around Putin is decreasing, which is dangerous for him: as soon as one clan finally wins, Putin himself will no longer be needed, and they can try to replace him with someone from the same clan,” Kurnosova added. According to Andriy Novak, head of the Committee of Economists of Ukraine, if sanctions against buyers of Russian oil begin to take full effect — and the first signs are already being observed, for example, in India — Russia will suffer significant losses of foreign exchange earnings. This will lead to a sharp increase in the state budget deficit and an accelerated devaluation of the ruble. As a result, Russia may face the inability to fulfill social obligations and implement budget expenditures. Such a development, according to the expert, poses a double threat to the regime: on the one hand, social protests from below, and on the other, growing discontent among the elites and oligarchs, whose business directly depends on energy exports.
