Russian political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky believes that oppositionist Aleksey Navalny after an investigation into Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev may launch a campaign against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The corresponding statement was made in an interview with Ekho Moskvy.
"Navalny has no conflicts with anyone at all, because he is an absolute narcissist. It acts only in its own interests. If Medvedev needs to be dunked today to increase his capitalization, he will do it. Tomorrow - Putin, "- said the expert.
"But being a born politician and an excellent specialist in political technologies (the second follows from the first, and not vice versa), he realizes that rates can only be increased in the same way as a drug addict can only increase the dose of a strong drug, but not reduce it. Medvedev, and in the future will be Putin. Therefore Navalny, of course, will not fight Usmanov, "Belkovsky stressed..
At the same time, he admitted that Navalny can use the oligarch Usmanov as a PR for himself and his presidential campaign.
"That is, he will go to the debate with Usmanov simply because on these debates he already wins deliberately. Do you understand? Like every David entering the battle with Goliath. Now, to lose to David Goliath - he can not in principle, right? Because if David killed Goliath with a sling, as reported in the Bible, he (Navalny. - Red. ) Defeated him (Usmanov. - Red. ) By knockout. If Goliath beat David, David still wins, because the criterion of victory is the very fact of his participation in this battle, "the political scientist summed up..
As reported by the "Observer", earlier historian and journalist Nikolai Svanidze noted that in the investigations of Navalny strange is the fact that the largest corrupt official in Russia is called the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
