...”IMO, the ones to watch for the future are Valentina Matviyenko, Chairwoman of the Federation Council, Alexei Gromov, Kremlin Chief of Staff, or Sergey Naryshkin, the Parliament speaker”....
Interesting ... as how they’re seated matters. But I’m interested to know what you’re take on Gromov is.....Putin does keep those close to him that could potentially be a threat...but he also outs them pretty quick if they “look like” they could compete against him. How loyal is Gromov in your opinion?
Don’t know much about Gromov, he seems to be the hand in the shadows. He has spent a LOT of time outside of the country in various posts, and speaks English fluently.
