There is only one way to achieve  regime change in Russia legitimately, quickly, and without significant violent and bloody confrontations in the country itself, and reintroducing the post of vice president is key

It is becoming increasingly clear that all attempts to reach a compromise with Moscow and get Russian troops to withdraw from Ukrainian territory are doomed to failure. From the very beginning, Putin has not recognized Ukrainians as a separate people from Russians, and Ukraine as an independent state. And all the Kremlin wants now is to get a break in the war with Ukraine in order to attack us again in a few years.

There is now opposition to Putin among Russian elites, and it is clear that non-public talks with the West are underway to remove the dictator from power, but it seems that no formula has been developed for how this can be done.

Here we need to recall how Mikhail Gorbachev's political rival, Boris Yeltsin, managed to deprive him of power in the USSR. Only by using a completely non-standard and unexpected approach - by eliminating the existence of the Soviet Union itself.

“There is only one way to remove Putin from power legitimately, quickly, and without significant violent and bloody confrontations in the Russian Federation itself, and the key to this is the introduction of the post of vice president of the Russian Federation.”

Although the situation with Putin is quite different, the use of non-standard approaches could help achieve the desired result here as well. There is only one way to remove Putin from power legitimately, quickly, and without significant violent and bloody confrontations in the Russian Federation itself, and the key to this is the introduction of the post of vice president of the Russian Federation.

After all, the question of what to do with Russia is becoming more urgent than ever for the entire democratic world. Although Putin has promised to hand over power, he keeps ducking this question. He is pathologically afraid of being held accountable for his crimes, and this is why the Russian establishment is in a stalemate: they are not yet able to remove Putin, although they are well aware that he is leading Russia to complete collapse, and if the tyrant is not removed from power in the near future, the uncontrolled self-destruction of the Russian Federation is becoming increasingly obvious.

“The Russian establishment is in a stalemate: they are not yet able to remove Putin, although they are well aware that he is leading Russia to complete collapse.”

Therefore, since a palace coup or the removal of Putin by his physical elimination has not been considered, the only legitimate way to transfer power from the usurper to his successor is to duplicate his powers by introducing the post of vice president of Russia. And if the top leadership of the FSB wants to stay alive, they will do it.

Just as it is time to warn and prepare appropriate actions regarding the possible disclosure of information that sometime in 2005 or 2006, the real Putin was replaced, and in fact, Russia has been ruled by an impostor, 'false Putin,' ever since. And if Putin does not want to be publicly exposed during his lifetime, he must now agree to the proposed option of resigning from the presidency.

This political formula can be quickly implemented in the following way: The State Duma of the Russian Federation urgently decides at its extraordinary meeting that due to the difficult economic and social situation in Russia and the deterioration of President Putin's health, the post of vice president is introduced in Russia.

“The State Duma of the Russian Federation urgently adopts a decision at its extraordinary meeting that due to the difficult economic and social situation in Russia and the deterioration of President Putin's health, the post of vice president is introduced in Russia.”

Obviously, in this case, the most difficult issue will be to get a majority of the State Duma to vote for this historic decision. However, for political factions that understand what will happen to Russia if Putin remains in power for another six months, the chance to avert a catastrophe should become a purely technical issue.

Procedurally, it could look like this: a proposal is made to the State Duma to approve a political figure who suits all of Putin's opponents in the ruling elites as vice president of the Russian Federation. Prior to this, appropriate explanatory work is carried out with the deputies, and thus an overwhelming majority of votes is achieved in favor of the proposal.

And the second item, after the official approval of the vice presidency, is to put this amendment to the Russian constitution to a vote. They know how to do this quickly.

Then, after a short period of time (a week or two at most - less is better) since the creation of the post of vice president in Russia, Putin is encouraged to make a statement that due to a sharp deterioration in his health and inability to fully perform his duties as president of the Russian Federation, he decides to refuse to continue to perform his presidential duties and retires.

“For the operation to legitimately remove Putin from power to be successful, concerted action by the FSB leadership and senior army generals is required. And the majority of military generals must support it.”

Thus, the vice president automatically temporarily becomes the legitimate president of Russia, and will be able to remain in office until the presidential elections to be held in Russia in 2024. For the operation to legitimately remove Putin from power to be successful, concerted action by the FSB leadership and senior army generals is required. And most military generals must support it. If they do not want the Russian army to be completely defeated, and Russia itself to fall into a series of chaotic degradation processes, the elites will simply be exterminated by these processes. Including physically.

The formula of reality for the next government may be as follows: if this interim government recognizes Putin's crimes and is ready to launch mechanisms to overcome the criminal legacy of the Putin regime, and initiates the process of compensating Ukraine for all the damage caused by the war (since this is a very complex problem and takes time to work out in full), then this government will last for several years, even longer.

“The new Russian president should withdraw all Russian troops from all Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, including Crimea and Donbas, and then negotiate a peace treaty, fulfill the security conditions for the international community (primarily demilitarization, denuclearization and de-imperialization of the Russian Federation) and pay reparations to Ukraine.”

Representatives of the power circles have long been conducting non-public talks with the West about ending Russia's war with Ukraine and the place of the Russian Federation in the post-war peaceful period. Therefore, now is the time to dramatically accelerate this process, giving the Russian Federation the opportunity to end Putin's war.

And the introduction of the post of vice president in Russia gives it the key to real change and a chance to use what is probably the last opportunity for the physical survival of the elites and partial preservation of their wealth. The main thing is that they are able to use it correctly and in time.
