Coup plan against Kremlin
<h2>Elite in fear, security apparatus frustrated</h2>
<p>The situation in Russia is bad: The near-coup of June is still reverberating, there is no end in sight to the largely failed war in Ukraine, and on top of that, the ruble is weakening!</p>
<p><strong>The elite is highly nervous and frustrated with an eye on next year’s presidential election. Long-term President Vladimir Putin (70) then wants to secure a fifth term in office until 2028. He would then be in office almost as long as only Stalin before him.</strong></p>
<p>The Kremlin’s strategy is to present Putin as a popular leader who has everything under control both domestically and in the conflict with the United States and NATO, reports the news portal Bloomberg. The 2024 “election campaign” will start with the upcoming regional elections on September 10.</p>
