Sobyanin discussed “life after Putin” with Mishustin
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin had a one-on-one meeting with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin this week. Such meetings are held regularly, although not too often recently.
Sources close to Sobyanin told us that the participants in the meeting half-jokingly discussed that they were both on the list of possible “successors to Putin.” In any case, both were in the top five possible candidates.
After a few jokes about this, Mishustin and Sobyanin exchanged opinions on what the country would be like “after Putin.” We don't know the details yet, but the detail is interesting, you must admit...

This could not have been discussed a year ago
“This could not have been discussed a year ago” (life after Putin)
A year from now, it will really be a popular topic.
Putin has to go to rehabilitate Russia. There is no way back for him, after all this bloodbath, and no one else could credibly take the blame.
