Putin will seek to hand over power to a chosen heir and retire to his 1billion ($1.2 billion) Black Sea 'palace' rather than risk the ignominious fate of toppled tyrants like Muammar Gaddafi, said Abbas Gallyamov, Putin's former speechwriter. The Russian leader will seek to give up power to a technocrat successor who could negotiate an end to the war with Ukraine and the West, and probably not fight the 2024 election, he told Khodorkovsky Live YouTube channel.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-11632275/Former-Putin-ally-claims-nominate-chosen-heir-year.html The palace boasts a vineyard and a room known as a 'hookah' with a stage and performer's pole. It includes a '16-story underground complex' compared with the lair of a James Bond villain. It was also described as 'a whole anthill in the rock under the house.' An engineer turned whistle-blower who reportedly worked on the construction named only as Viktor thought of the palace as a 'national treasure' suggesting the underground passageways buried in the rock were more ingenious than Dr No's bunker.  |

The UK's Daily Mail has claimed he's dead several times the past year, or is going to die soon, or has some type of cancer that'll make him die, or something. Anything to sell papers to gullible types who want to read what they believe.

Is there another Abbas Gallyamov, or is this the same crackpot?
From a month ago in another throughly discredited publication. It's beyond laughable what passes for "journalism" these days. https://www.thedailybeast.com/vladimir-putin-is-preparing-to-flee-to-venezuela-when-russia-implodes-ex-aide-abbas-gallyamov-says ...Abbas Gallyamov, a former speechwriter for Putin, made the astounding claim on Telegram early Wednesday, citing an unnamed source that he said had “insider” information on the whole affair... ....Putin’s inner circle first considered a plan to evacuate to China, Gallyamov said, but later thought better of it, fearing the chances of “cooperation” from the Chinese were slim, especially since they despise “losers.” Now, he said, the focus has shifted to either Argentina or Venezuela, with Putin ally Igor Sechin currently overseeing an evacuation plan for the latter country... |

Honestly, most of the world leaders that ended up dragged out into the streets and killed would have been able to retire to a palace somewhere if they’d just had the foresight to do it in time. I feel like it might be a bit late in the game for Putin to do so, but he has a better chance now than he will at any point in the future. |

You do understand that this (assuming it is accurate) is a negotiating position--right? This is what is called a carrot. If you don't think that there is anyone worse, indeed FAR worse, than Putin who could take control of the Russian State then maybe you had best wargame your list of potential outcomes in greater depth. |
