Volunteer and blogger Roman Sinitsyn expressed the opinion that the Russian Federation is threatened with a split after the resignation of President Vladimir Putin.

The corresponding statement was made in an interview with "Apostrophe".

"I think that in the near future this (the disintegration of Russia. - Red. ) Does not happen. Although everything rests on one single persona. If in the near future there will be no Putin - they will start to be pricked. And he is not immortal, "he said..

Sinitsyn added that in Russia the defining factor is personal, not the system.

"Yeltsin was not as sick as Putin!. In the same place Chechnya was. I only know one thing: they do not get off us. This is without a doubt. And you have to be ready for this. Although so far the overwhelming majority of the people all that is happening, do not care. And this is the most vybshivaet.

Even among my acquaintances there are a lot of people who do not take it into their heads, that we have a war in the east, that Russia somehow shakes us. They, the average inhabitants, it's all just the same. Those who do care, are still too few, "he concluded..

As reported by the "Observer", previously Russian journalist and political scientist Arkady Dubnov expressed the opinion that Vladimir Putin decided to participate in presidential elections in 2018 because he believes that without him the Russian Federation will fall apart.
