[Chernovec] And at what point did Russia enter the stage of interaction between the authorities and the people, when the "voice" of the president simply forbids asking him uncomfortable questions?
Everyone is wondering why the smartest person militarily was removed? Surovikin-hero, national property. Like Zhukov, Suvorov and Kutuzov. And so he needs to be removed from business, hidden either under house arrest, or on vacation, with an incomprehensible prospect for the future? It's like removing Zhukov from business in the midst of the Battle of Kursk.
But I can guess why Peskov refuses to answer. Because today it is necessary to tell that the reason for the disappearance of Surovkin "from the radar" was a consequence of the conflict between Shoigu and Prigozhin.
And who and how brought the situation to this conflict, when until the last moment the situation was swept under the carpet with all its might, we all understand. And I'm not talking about GDP.
Go ahead. They do not tell us the situation with Surovikin (because then everyone needs to explain who is to blame for the current situation, but, for me personally, this is clearly not Surovikin). But I will never forget that General Popov, who dared to report problems to his superiors, was removed from his post and exiled to Syria.
