The regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin may fall in two weeks, and may last for several more years, the well-known Russian political scientist Andrei Piontkovsky.
In the case of the change of Putin's regime, at the first stage, the power will be seized by someone from his entourage, the political scientist said in an interview on the TV channel "112 Ukraine".
"The power composed of criminals will have to adjust and establish relations with the West. They will leave the Donbass, but they will try to persuade the West and Ukraine that Crimea, at least for a while, remains in an indefinite position, "he stressed..
At the same time, he added that it would be difficult for these people to stay in power for a long time.
"The fall of Putin will be a testament to the bankruptcy of his policy, one junta will be replaced by another," added Piontkovsky.
