Sensational statements by Vladimir Putin's former speechwriter , Abbas Gallyamov , in an interview with Cnn .
«The Russian economy is deteriorating. The war is lost , ”explains Gallyamov. “There are more and more corpses coming back to Russia , so Russians will have more difficulties and try to find an explanation why of all this , looking at the political process and answering themselves: 'Well, this is because our country is governed by an old tyrant, an old dictator'”, he said again referring to Putin.
For Gallyamov, the coup could come in the next 12 months .
Within a year, adds the political analyst, «when the political situation will change and an unpopular and hated president will be at the head of the country, and the war will be really unpopular, and it will be necessary to shed blood for this, at that time a coup will become a real possibility ."
Gallyamov also said he believed Putin could cancel a presidential election scheduled for March 2024.
“Judging by his actions, when he goes after something unnecessarily, he could really cancel the elections: without the victory over the Ukraine, he will have a hard time with the Russians. The Russians don't need him if he's not strong. He could indeed declare martial law and cancel the election ,” he told the US broadcaster.
