..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."

Yeh, if it were true he would already be dead.
Talk to me in a few days

It’s almost like a generic human body wakes up one Monday morning and by 3 weeks later he discovers he has 1,000 cancers!
Russia’s economy is on the way to being cut in half and it will take many decades to recover from this.
Could be but I know if some guy named Putin was responsible for me losing my billion dollar yacht I would be after his ass. Some of these Oligarchs are bound to be mean as hell and won’t take this.
Putin allegedly was talking on TV tonight and got cut off. I think his hours are numbered. For Russia to recover this century, Putin has to be DEAD.
“... it has also decided on a potential successor: Alexander Bortnikov, who currently serves as Russia’s Federal Security Service director...”
Bad Plan.
So apparently Bortnikov’s people gave Poot the most optimistic evaluation of the three they probably came up with.
That’s how those rumors get started, so it’s easier to poison him and say he succumbed to cancer or sumthin sumthin.
Their intention was a dozen. They missed two. Keep up with the propaganda.
