Putin will blame Shoigu for defeat - Feigin
Mark Feigin, Russian opposition activist in exile, former member of the State Duma (Russia's parliament) and a well-known video blogger, highlights the fact that Shoigu has no military background and is not popular in the Russian army.
He told it "Espreso.TV” live on air.
"I believe that Putin will blame Shoigu for the defeat, since it will be beneficial for him to say: “It's not me, it's them, in particular, he misinformed me, they prompted me to make such decisions." Shoigu is very suitable for such a role. First of all, he is not really a military man, he is not popular in the army. This is completely objective, because he did not go through the trenches, schools, academies. That’s why he cannot be popular in the army in any way. He is, so to speak, a plywood marshal" - Fagin says.
"Shoigu is neither a military man, nor a Russian, and a person who cannot be justified. The fairy tale about the talented manager Shoigu was invented. Getting rid of Shoigu is not a problem. Of course, Shoigu will not be removed now, but after some time he and, perhaps, Gerasimov will be removed by blaming for the defeat, Feigin said.
