The former owner of the corporation “YUKOS” Mikhail Khodorkovsky gave an assessment of the current Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as to predict the future for the country.
According to the former oligarch Putin is not a superhero, how it tries to present Kremlin propaganda and naked king.
« No matter what we tried to show the Kremlin spin doctors and television propaganda, Putin – not Superman, and he was not exactly go down in history as a hero. On the TV screen, he can fight with the bears, fly with migratory birds and hunt with the Tigers, but it is a solid fantasy. Bare-chested Putin – this is not a strong leader, and naked king », – said Khodorkovsky, in a speech at the Royal Institute of International Affairs Chatham House in London.
Khodorkovsky contrasted Putin” educated people ” for which in his opinion, the future.
« Ordinary people create added value – they pay taxes and are full participants in the economy », – says to leave for permanent residence in Switzerland entrepreneur.
According to him, the dependence on oil will weaken further if the government will be less to interfere in the affairs of the business.
In his speech, Khodorkovsky did not fail to make a curtsy current government, stressing that positively the Government anti-crisis plan.
He believes that Putin’s goal – to reach agreement with Washington for the purpose of dividing the world into spheres of influence, as it was during the Cold War, where human rights could have been forgotten altogether.
« I can not imagine what you can negotiate even in the medium-term sense to a man with such ideas about the world. Putin wants to go to the top of the vertical world, because he has already done in Russia. He believes that there is only one center of power and decision-making that different groups can not act independently. And this is his basic ideological conflict with the new world. This opposition of the closed and open vertical thinking and horizontal », – said Khodorkovsky.
