The man who 'invented Putinism' has been detained in Russia and is under house arrest, say reports in Moscow.
If confirmed, the move against Vladislav Surkov appears to show Vladimir Putin is turning on his inner circle, and also deep splits among his closest henchmen.
Unconfirmed accounts say Putin's 'ideologist' is being held in a wide-ranging criminal probe that has also seen the arrest of 150 FSB agents.
The case evidently involves the alleged embezzlement of $5 billion (£3.85billion) by the secret services to create an undercover and intelligence network in Ukraine.
The shadowy Surkov, seen as crucial to Putin's long-running electoral success, was the man who encouraged him to believe Ukraine is not a real country.
The 57-year-old is a former Kremlin insider, more recently a Putin point man in Ukraine.
Before Putin sent troops into Ukraine, Surkov called for Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic states to be annexed.

Under the bus and into the wood chipper...
Somebody purge Putin instead.
Where would I be without my daily dose of Globalist inspired Pro-Ukrainian Propaganda from the Daily Mail?
If Putin is turning on his own security services you have to wonder where this will end.
150 spy chiefs!??
I think I see the problem: Too many chiefs and not enough indians.
You just know it’s Daily Mail from the headline
How much are we paying them
There is only one way out for Putin... Give the man a pistol and tell him the truth.
There will never be a return to normalcy for Vlad, he will forever be a pariah, a person without a friend or even a foe who will pay attention to him... He will be ignored and shunned for the rest of his life. Make it shorter and the pain will be lessened.
A possible alternative... Commitment to an asylum where he can live out the rest of days rolling around in a wheelchair and slowly losing his mind.
At this point, his paranoia must be all consuming.
This is not how a leader WINNING acts, more like a LOSER who is isolated and paranoid and acting like a trapped animal. I wonder what the over/under is for cancer vs his own circle to take him out first?
This appears to be a failed coup.
Short man syndrome... Napoleon 5’6”, Hitler 5’7” and now Vlad 5’5”... Even shorter than the other two lunatics.
They arrested Mussolini?

Half of it is sponsored by the CIA.
Eventually, the spy masters will win.
Russia is utterly corrupt. Their entire society is built in lies and has been for generations. Everyone lies to everyone else about everything. And everyone is stealing everything they can.
It’s why their army is a pathetic shell of itself.
All the money allocated for maintenance, repair, fuel, and food has been stolen to pay for vodka, dachas, caviar, yachts, and whores.

Hopefully it ends like Stalin, with Putin alone and suffering and nobody even in his inner circle caring to lift one finger to help him.

People need to understand that the CIA has a giant propaganda department, and is in the news business. Have been for years. It’s very effective.
It’s no secret. But explains an awful lot.
How much are we paying them
They're just being the dutiful America Hating Daily Males for their GloboHomoNazi Owners.
