At present, pressure on Russia has intensified "on all fronts"; his goal is "squeezing Putin from the throne".

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian publicist, blogger and analyst Vladimir Golyshev.

"There is no war between Russia and the rest of the world - there is a war of the whole world against the toxic president Putin who, in this decisive moment, when he either nominates himself, or quietly crawls away from the throne - makes it clear: no new Putin's term he will not endure and is not going to endure it, "the publicist is convinced.

"The world does not want to deal anymore with Russia, which this particular individual continues to occupy the highest post. That's all. It is with this circumstance that the aggravation on all fronts is associated, whatsoever there is, "he is convinced.

In this context, he recalled the landmark statement of former US President Barack Obama. He "hinted that in the times of Medvedev, despite the fact that Putin was behind him and holding all the levers of governing the country, he had excellent relations with him".

Thus, "this is a concrete clear hint: Vladimir Vladimirovich, you can crawl away from the throne by half a meter and continue to hold in your hands all the levers of control of the country inside the country - that is, sawing loot inside the country, as you sawed it before.

But on the international scene, please release a man with a human face, with whom we can deal, "Golyshev suggested..

In this context, the publicist remarked: "I think Obama is the coordinator or mediator of the efforts of the world community to extricate Putin from the throne".

According to him, the question of Vladimir Putin's participation or non-participation in the next presidential election will be decided in the coming weeks. "Putin has to make a fatal decision to nominate a candidate, or not to do this year, and nothing else," he said..
