..The post boldly begins with, "Poisoning, sudden disease, accident—Russian elite considers the possibility of removing Putin."
"In the environment of the Russian business and political elite, a group of influential persons opposing [Vladimir Putin] is formed," the post reads. "Their goal is to remove Putin from power as soon as possible and restore economic ties with the West, destroyed due to the war in Ukraine."
The alleged group is not only planning to potentially assassinate Putin, the post claims, it has also decided on a potential successor: Alexander Bortnikov, who currently serves as Russia's Federal Security Service director, and headed up the analysis of the Ukrainian population and military capabilities ahead of the recent invasion.
The Chief Directorate claims that Putin and Bortkinov have recently had a falling out, with the Russian president blaming his subordinate for the country's difficulties in taking over Ukraine. Bortkinov is now reportedly working with the group of Russian elites in devising potential ways to remove Putin.
"It is Bortnikov who has recently fallen out of favor with the Russian dictator," the post alleges. "The official reason for the FSS leader's downfall is fatal miscalculations in the war against Ukraine. It was Bortnikov and his department who were responsible for analyzing the views of the Ukrainian population and the capacity of the Ukrainian army."

why not wage a campaign calling him “a stooge of Biden or the US” run 99 percent anti-Putin “news”. “Fortify” the next election. All that worked well here. I’m sure Zuckerberg, Soros, NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., will be glad to run it for them.
And here comes Regime Change, the central tenant of Neoconservatives.
There are many who will not be satisfied until Putin is pulled from his spider hole in Moscow. Most, from what I read here, will accept this as gospel. If Biden and McConnell agree on something it must be bipartisan and therefore, good for America, right?
We are in a blizzard of pro war propaganda.
Bortnikov himself controls the 9th directorate of the FSB, which is the division that is actually detaining the FSB officers being arrested.
Everyone remembers the awkward confrontation between Putin and Bortnikov in the televised briefing in the run-up to the invasion
Is Bortnikov himself the FSB leaker? There is reason to think someone in the FSB leaked the location of Kadirov’s Chechen jihadis in the Gostomel area west of Kyiv to the Ukraine armed forces, which scored a hit on them early in the war killing the Chechen General Magomed Tushaev and many other Chechens. Bortnikov?
This seems like propaganda intended to destabilize Putin. Because if it was true, you certainly wouldn’t leak it.
A very small telepath in Vlad's office desk.
.......I “THINK” it’s highly likely that the 100 or so Oligarchs and their associates will kill Putin based simply on how incredibly stupid attacking the Ukraine was and IS.
They did not calculate the FINANCIAL ATTACK from the WEST and the WEST confiscating tens of billions of properties. This will take decades for Russia to recover from and no one will ever sign a contract with the treacherous, lying bastards again!
Russia’s 2020 GNP was 1.565 trillion. It is likely that number could get cut to half.
This compares to the US GNP of approximately 21 Trillion.
The biggest blow to Russia is their ego as their military is now the laughing stock of the world.
“My enemy wants to depose it’s leader. Trust me. I know this to be true.”
Sows.
Whether this story is true or not, I’m sure there are people entertaining the idea.
My bet fake. Side bet the mentioned isn’t long for this world either way now. Putin of all people wouldn’t wait to find out if he’s wrong.
CIA is obsessed with toppling heads of state. Even American ones
Just like the elite wanted Tsar Nicky out in 1917, but they sure didn’t like what replaced him.
very rich people must be losing money, power or both
This guy is a bigger failure than Putin.
Works for me
The propaganda never ends. Neither do those who thrive on it.
We can only hope and pray that Pooty croaks soon from cancer or is deposed and done in (killed) for his stupidity. The only way out is death for Pooty. Live by the sword, die by the sword. And Lord knows, the deaths of thousands are on his head. All for his senile, diseased ego-trip of taking over Ukraine to recreate past Czarist empires and glories.
