Russian President Vladimir Putin will "hold out all the way" for Premier Dmitry Medvedev and try to prevent his resignation.

The reasons for this phenomenon "Observer" was told by the Russian journalist Igor Yakovenko.

Commenting on the latest sociological poll in Russia, according to which about 45% of Russians want Medvedev's resignation, he assured: the hypothesis of eliminating a competitor looks ridiculous, and the survey data "reflects a true picture of what is happening in the public consciousness".

The unpopularity of the Russian premier is "the result of several circumstances," he explained.. "In shops everything is more expensive, salaries are getting smaller. And it feels all. The responsibility for this is, first of all, the government of ".

In addition, Yakovenko is convinced that his role was also played by the investigation of oppositionist Aleksey Navalny, in particular, his exposing film "He's not Dimon", which was seen by a record number of Russian citizens - about 38%.

At the same time, the journalist stressed: "Medvedev is an extremely convenient prime minister for Putin". "I think that out of the 7 billion people who inhabit the planet Earth, Putin will not be able to find a second person, just as insignificant, just as meaningless, just as ridiculous, who, after spending about a quarter of a century on the top of the Russian Olympus, could not create his own team. This is a unique phenomenon, "Yakovenko said..

"Of course, Putin will hold on to such a premier with all his might, because he does not compel him any competition. Of course, he will try to avoid his resignation. Although now this resignation is required not only by 45% of Russians, but also by a significant part of the "war party" in power, "- noted the journalist.

As the "Observer" wrote, earlier Igor Yakovenko explained with what the next aggravation in the war in the Donbass might be connected.
