Protests in Russia are fully controlled by the authorities, and to expect a social explosion under Vladimir Putin's rule is not worth it.
This is on air "The Observer. LIVE "said an international expert Andrei Buzarov.
"I am convinced that all the protests are controlled by the leadership of the Russian Federation. For the authoritarian control system that exists in the Russian Federation, it is characteristic to use harsh methods against potential oppositionists. This is typical not only for the Russian Federation. This is typical, for example, for Turkey. There, more than 50,000 arrests occurred after the coup attempt. A few days ago, the head of the representation of the international organization Amnesty International. There, absolutely Erdogan does not stand on ceremony with anyone, "the expert said..
According to him, there are similar processes in Turkey.
"Not yet on such a scale, but it is happening. All shares are controlled by the authorities, all shares under the control of special services. I do not think that in the coming years there is a possible social explosion. It is unlikely that this will happen under Putin. But Putin already understands that one must think about who will be after him, how he will leave, and whether he will ever leave. Therefore, here complex contradictions arise that are characteristic of Russian history, "Buzarov emphasized..
He also believes that now there is no alternative to Putin, and the rumors about a possible successor do not deserve attention.
"He is unlikely to be appointed under Putin. Putin will not do it. All these surnames, which are called, are all very conditional. He, most likely, will continue to govern the country, and how long this will continue is the problem of the most political elite of the Russian Federation. At the same time, civil society also continues to develop.
What happened now in Russia is a demonstration of this. The main thing is that people came out and expressed dissatisfaction with the situation, "- concluded Buzarov.
As the "Observer" wrote, on June 12 in the Russian Federation - in Moscow, St. Petersburg and in dozens of other cities - protests took place. According to the latest information, 600 people were detained in Moscow, 300 in St. Petersburg.
