The well-known Russian businessman, the head of the board of directors of Tinkoff Bank, Oleg Tinkov, proposed making Russian President Vladimir Putin an emperor.

This statement he made in an interview with video blogger Yuri Dudyu.

According to the businessman, democracy will never take root in Russia, because Russians always needed a king.

"I'm for Putin. I believe that Putin still has 33 terms to rule until he dies. Moreover, Putin needs to be made emperor, because in this country no democracy will ever get accustomed. I am convinced of this. I know this people - this is the people who need a king. I believe that Putin should be anointed with the kingdom ... plant him, so to speak in our Petersburg, there, thank God, the whole Hermitage is also a winter palace, "Tinkov said..

He also spoke out for the fact that after Vladimir Putin, his daughter entered the imperial throne.

The proclamation of imperial power in Russia, according to Tinkov, will only benefit, since the head of state "will not think about votes and how to retain power".

"He does not need to think about it. He will start thinking about Russia, "the banker added..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier in Russia they said that Putin had a real competitor.
