Massive 'national crusade' mobilisation could happen as soon as New Year
'He will most certainly leave before 2024' if not the New Year
Rumours suggest Sergei Kiriyenko, 60, his authoritarian deputy chief of staff and an ex-PM, could replace Putin, while others focus on Dmitry Patrushev, agriculture minister, and son of the president's hardline chief security apparatchik Nikolay Patrushev, who would be power behind the new ruler.
Speculation is swirling in Russia that Vladimir Putin will soon demand a massive new mobilisation drive in a desperate effort to halt calamitous defeats to Ukraine.
It's also been predicted that such a move could be a diversion tactic for Putin to step down and hand over power, with the leader reportedly suffering ill health in recent months.
One version is that he could draft up to two million - including 300,000 women - in an attempt to turn the war into a national crusade.
The move is likely to be coupled with martial law in key cities, including Moscow, say Russian sources.
Such a scenario might act as political cover enabling him to hand over power in the event of worsening health, - observers convinced he is terminally ill -
'Putin considers it 'sufficient' to call up another two million people, of which about 300,000 are women,' alleged General SVR Telegram channel which expects this to be triggered in January.
'A large number of victims among those mobilised, according to the president, will only rally Russian society and strengthen the current regime, and regardless of whether the result will be victory or defeat.'
Putin-watcher Valery Solovey, former professor at Moscow's prestigious Institute of International Relations, said: 'The intention [is] to mobilise not 300,000, 400,000, or 500,000 but, with luck, up to two million people, including 300,000 women after the New Year celebrations.

The sooner this rat is gone, the better.
Based upon nothing you have information on.(nor do I)
The replacement could be far worse.
“The sooner this rat is gone, the better.”
You got that right. The sooner zelensky is gone the better.
Ralph Wiggum is fantastic.
You nailed Dennisw. What a Big Government, globalist neocon hack.
Putin’s “chef” reels he is the chosen one... HE’LL WILL BE PISSED OFF and civil war will break out between political factions... COULD BE BLOODY!
Better get the boot factory into overdrive.
February 1917 all over again. Didn’t work out so well for Tsar Nicholas or Alexander Kerensky.
Whatever replacement succeeds Comrade Putin will be too busy fending off Kremlin plots ands internal riots to carry on with the invasion. He’ll be left holding the bag.
That is a wild speculation.
Putin is single-handily sending the entire Russian workforce to their deaths, including women who will not be bearing children and so ending white Russian rule over the country.
National suicide to satisfy a ego driven dying lunatic. With that stroke, Russia’s 1917 moment is upon it.
I’m not sure this paper is reliable.
All rumor.
Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin’s Wagner Group will make things UGLY
Whatever replacement succeeds Comrade Putin will be too busy fending off Kremlin plots ands internal riots to carry on with the invasion. He’ll be left holding the bag.

Speculation, but not that wild.
Putin is the only one with the authority (iow is feared enough) to push this sort of crap.
This report is speculation/rumor before any speculation of what would happen.
Another anonymously sourced story from the globalist corporate gaslight press.
Only an idiot would believe anything they say, but just as PT Barnum said, there’s one born every minute.
“Whatever replacement succeeds Comrade Putin will be too busy fending off Kremlin plots ands internal riots to carry on with the invasion. He’ll be left holding the bag.”

There were attempted coups against both Gorbachev and Yeltsin. So using that measure of recent Russian history, infighting is more probable than not.
