Russian President Vladimir Putin sincerely believes that he is the only person who can stand at the helm of the country.

This opinion was expressed in an interview with the "Observer" by the Russian blogger Alexander Tverskoy.

"Putin will calmly go to the" election "in 2018 and will again become president. He has no domestic political reasons to act otherwise. He has nothing to fear. And do not forget that he is not just ambitious, but considers himself the only person who can and should stand at the helm of the country. Such people do not go away by themselves. They are carried forward with their feet. He is 17 already in the Kremlin, he decided to blow up homes and several wars to gain and retain his power - why on earth should he bow out and retire? ", - said the blogger.

"The last ten years the regime has thrown all its strength to strengthen its power.

Propaganda, furious money for the defense industry and internal law enforcement forces (to the detriment of medicine and education), the creation of Rosgvardia, a non-stop conveyor of repressive laws that suppress freedom and any dissent, the complete untying of hands by the siloviki - they can shoot at women and children without waiting for orders; Huge support of the people, bribery of business, physical elimination of competitors. The political field today is sterile. There are no politicians in the state as such, "Alexander Tverskoi added..

As reported by the "Observer", previously a financier and blogger from Russia Slava Rabinovich explained why Vladimir Putin can not avoid Maidan.
