The next president of Russia can be any person who will bet in the highest government circles of Russia.

This opinion was expressed in the commentary to the "Observer" by the Russian journalist Fedor Klimenko.

On the question of how he would assess the likelihood that the next Russian president could not be an ethnic Russian, in particular the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, the journalist replied:.

"I am sure that with free and fair elections, with equal access of candidates to the media, with an independent and objective press (an absolutely fantastic picture to date), the candidate's nationality, as well as his skin color, would be a tenth deal. People would be interested in, first of all, his program, "- said Klimenko.

"In a real situation, which we have in the real RF, where there are no fair elections, no independent and honest press, the president will be anyone whom they decide to make president in the Old Square. But these "citizens" will never decide to make the president not an ethnic Russian. So, my answer is no, "stressed the journalist.

As reported by the "Observer", in RossiSMI again began to call Kadyrov a likely successor to Russian President Vladimir Putin at his post.
