Find a successor to the current Russian It will be extremely difficult for President Vladimir Putin, Metropolitan Pskov and Porkhovsky Tikhon Shevkunov, whom many call his “confessor,” in an interview with the Daily Storm. president. He stressed that under Putin, Russia has experienced a significant rise on the international stage. This raises questions & ndash; who else can maintain Russia's authority in this way, limit it within. “” But that is our problem, one is not immortal, “Shevkunov emphasized. He considers Putin to be a “different scale” man and an infinite responsibility, and he is aware of it all. “ He is a man of action, naturally looking for no gratitude. He, as an officer, as a soldier, is authorized to do so, & # 39; & # 39; says the metropolitan.
It is up to the president himself to decide who will succeed him. He and no one else must prepare for what comes next. “ And many understand: take it away and what starts begins, think only everyone, a responsible person who understands all the kinds of drive belts we have, & # 39; & # 39; Shevkunov noted.
Shevkunov also noted that Putin ironizes that some are trying to exalt him. He remembered the story of Khazanov trying to put a crown on Putin, he took it and put it on the head of the comedian himself. Putin should be compared to Nicholas the First, Shevkunov said. “ He was an amazing man, he raised the earth, but he was slandered, his name was Nikolai Palkin, & # 39; & # 39; said the metropolitan.
The bosses in Russia are especially reluctant, they are cursed here. But Putin understands all this, loves people and does his job without building illusions, Shevkunov added.
