The LAVROV PLAN to REPLACE PUTIN: The Day After | VisualPolitik EN
🔐 Learn about finance with us in a simple, free, and straight-to-the-point way: https://www.visualfaktory.com/free-gift/ Who will succeed Vladimir Putin, and what are Russia’s latest elections revealing about the future of the Kremlin? The State Duma elections may have offered clues about Putin’s succession, Sergey Lavrov’s role, and Russia’s next moves in the war in Ukraine. In this video, we take a closer look at what lies behind Russia’s elections, why the Kremlin needs them despite its tight control over the political system, and what the latest moves within Russia’s elite could mean. We also examine the so-called “Lavrov Plan,” a theory about the foreign minister’s potential role in a future transition of power; the names being discussed as possible successors to Putin, including Sergey Kiriyenko and Alexey Dyumin; and why the Kremlin works to prevent any figure from accumulating enough independent power to become a rival to the Russian president. But the consequences could extend far beyond domestic politics. Russia’s new State Duma will have to confront crucial decisions concerning the war in Ukraine, from military budgets to potential mobilization measures. Could a new mobilization involving hundreds of thousands of Russians follow the elections? We break down the key dynamics of power in Russia, tensions within the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin’s future, Sergey Lavrov’s role, and the big question hanging over Moscow: who will rule Russia after Putin?
