"Russia was quite expected to enter the period of turbulence. We still have elections in 2018. Let's estimate Putin's lack of alternatives, say, 95%. Maybe there is another version of the successor, although I doubt. But an important aspect - each of his presidential term, Putin began as part of several new coalitions. The team always changed, key players, clans changed.

Here and now there is a fierce struggle between the Kremlin clans for a place in the new coalition, "- said Nekrasov.
