Putin's Successors Being Assassinated

A RUTHLESS regime of KGB thugs and private armies could storm to power after Vladimir Putin’s reign ends, military analysts have warned. After decades of control, the dictator will likely leave chaos in his wake as different clans within the Kremlin elite “wage civil war” in a merciless bid for the throne. The bomber is believed to have targeted the the 55th birthday party of Col-Gen Alexander Chayko Top Russian commander Lt-Gen Igor Yerusalimov, 53, was reportedly one of five killed in the attack that targeted the lavish party of Col-Gen Alexander Chayko. He escaped unharmed, but the Russian press reported that his daughter was injured in the blast. As tensions over the transfer of power begin to flare, Russia must brace for a period of bloody infighting as different factions vie for control. Jason said: “There are more and more signs that those in charge of the intelligence services understand they have to move now to consolidate power. “To make sure that nobody else is able to get in and that they remain in charge of Russia. “Look what we’ve seen in the Russian military. Over the past few years, about 17 generals have been arrested.” Since 2024 a swathe of Russian military leaders have been detained in suspected cases of fraud, bribery and corruption. Jason said: “Who’s the one going after them? Who’s pursuing them? Well, it’s those people coming from the FSB. “Russian history shows us that Russia’s elite will do anything preserve their own clan and its interest.” When former Russian dictator Joseph Stalin died in March 1953, his top deputies formed a tense “collective leadership”. The temporary alliance was fiercely brutal, driven by a high-stakes power struggle. Each member was terrified that another would seize absolute control. Putin’s military are becoming disillusioned with the tyrant amid mounting deaths on the front line. Jason said: “When you take power in a dictatorship or after a dictatorship, the most dangerous stage is when people try to challenge your authority. “Right now there are several different power struggles ready to explode over the question of who is going to take the leadership of Russia.” But the coming power struggle in Russia could also result in a sudden change of foreign policy. He said: “Whoever comes to power after Putin is going to be dealing with a country that’s fractured – with an elite that’s ready to wage a civil war against the other parts of the elite to consolidate power.
