Alexey Kungurov, writer and journalist, one of the toughest publicists in modern Russia. His books are controversial in society, but are always read with interest because of the author's clear and original position. In his new book, Alexei Kungurov shows the situation of our country and dwells on the main problem: will Putin be able to withstand the current difficult political situation. According to the author, now there is a redistribution of power resources within the ruling group: its external signs are the creation of the National Guard, and criminal cases at the level of various ministries, and the "drain" of compromising evidence. A split has been created and is deepening in the political elite when a significant part of the ruling class has become hostage to Putin's policy, A. Kungurov writes. This is a situation in which palace upheaval becomes inevitable. Who carries it out and when? The author has his own answer to this question.
