Who will lead Russia after Putin: the bald or the squeaky?

Who will be the next leader of Russia after Putin?

In Russia, since 1917, there have been two important patterns: only people with idiotic voices become leaders (Lenin did not pronounce certain sounds, Stalin had an accent, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Gorbachev all spoke in strange voices, Chernenko and Andropov had "normal voices" but that's why they did not hold on, and then there was Yeltsin with two-minute pauses between words and Putin with a squeaky voice). Therefore, a successor should be sought among the owners of idiotic voices.

And at this point, many will say: Prigozhin is just right. But here we come to the second pattern: after Nicholas II, there was a clear recurrence: a bald leader is followed by not a bald leader (Chernenko and Andropov are also anomalies, and that is why they passed away within a year). That's why Prigozhin doesn't fit the bill.

As you may have guessed, this is conspiracy theorizing. The author of this wonderful and ridiculous theory is Mykola Polishchuk, but in every truth there is a share of conspiracy, and in every conspiracy there is a share of truth.
