With all of Mr Putin's top guns abandoning the sinking lame duck I-Phone loving Medvedev it seems clear that MR Putin does not see the reality of the situation. His constant re-shuffling and spitting down at the semi-elites, disregarding their opinions and openly mocking them is creating a huge problem for him with the under the 45 crowd. They might deal with corruption but they will refuse to deal with open slaps in the face. Mr Surkov the chief propaganda specialist has now been moved the from the President Administration to the deputy of Prime minister, for the purpose of this blow we shall call him "czar"
Mr Narishkin a close Putin confident is now the speaker of parliament. Putin continues to play these games where he allows Medveded to say something and over-rules him with counter measures the next day. I actually feel bad for the technology loving micro manager Medveded he was picked perfectly.
No balls, No charisma, no principles, and the desire to give one of the most important political posts in the world for a safety net of a few billion dollars and a warm seat in some position where he will steal have his slaves, he will still make money and no one will still consider him a person of power.
He is also most likely avoiding long jail sentences if the power and the winds of change ever sweep Russia.
The problem with all of this is that Putin has never used the internet in his life. He thinks he is able to dominate with only state TV forever. He does not understand that the growth of internet users is huge.
He refuses to believe that his popularity on the internet is at around 14%.
In Russia they say "ustalost metala" Which basically means that if you keep twisting and turning the metal long enough it will brake. This is Putins mistake, his face does not infuse stability anymore, it promotes apathy, lethargy and a whole new bread of people who are just sick and tired of the Charades.
