Putin said: "Give me twenty years and give you a strong Russia!" ”
Since Yeltsin handed over the Russian staff to Putin in December 1999, Russia has ushered in the Putin era.
Putin has been elected president of Russia four times, he has lived up to expectations, exerted his wisdom and ability, not only smashed the strategic encirclement of the West, but also enhanced Russia's international status, so that Russia returned to the list of world-class powers, but also made Progress in Russia's military modernization and Russia's economy developed.
Therefore, Putin is considered to be an "iron-fisted president", and he was selected as the most influential person in the world by Time magazine and Forbes magazine.
In May, Putin was also nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. Putin's achievements are there for all to see. So, after Putin, who can lead Russia to maintain its development and continue to fight against Western hegemony?
At the recent Congress of the United Russia Party, Putin nominated five people as candidates for the organization's leadership.
The five nominated by Putin are Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, Doctor Protzenko of the 40th Russian Hospital, Shmeleva, Co-Chairman of the All-Russian People's Front, and Kuznetsova, Commissioner for Children's Rights.
Of the five, Shoigu and Lavrov had strong influence. Among them, Shoigu has served as Russia's defense minister for a long time, and has repeatedly adhered to Putin's insistence on strengthening the combat effectiveness of the Russian army and promoting the modernization of the Russian army. At the beginning of this year, a large number of Russian troops were deployed to hold exercises on the Russian-Ukrainian border, and the commander was Shoigu.
Putin spoke highly of Shoigu's achievements and believed that Shoigu had made significant contributions.
As Russia's foreign minister, Lavrov has waged a war of words with the United States on behalf of Russia in diplomatic occasions, effectively safeguarding Russia's sovereign dignity and becoming a popular target of the Russian people.
In terms of their influence in The Russian people, Shoigu and Lavrov have a influence that cannot be underestimated compared to several other candidates. Putin's nomination of Shoigu and Lavrov as candidates sends a strong signal to the outside world: that is, Russia will continue to fight against US hegemony and safeguard its rights and interests!
From the end of the Cold War to the present, the United States has not stopped suppressing Russia for a moment, and the US-Russia relationship has slipped to the lowest point since the Cold War.
Just recently, the Russian fleet conducted a massive exercise in the waters of the central Pacific, close to the state of Hawaii. After the United States learned the news, it quickly dispatched an aircraft carrier formation into the waters near Hawaii, and the United States and Russia did not give in to each other and showed their muscles, which was to deter each other. This reflects the fierce geopolitical struggle between the two sides.
Although Putin has the ability to lead Russia to break the SIEGE of the United States, how can he not spare people for many years. Putin needs to find a good heir for Russia, continue to lead Russia to resist US hegemony and ensure Russia's future development.
Among the many candidates, Shoi gulavrov's chances of winning are undoubtedly the largest. First of all, they have rich political experience and experience in fighting against US hegemony. Secondly, they have cooperated tacitly and have been recognized and supported by Putin.
It is worth noting that out of the five candidates nominated, there was no Medvedev. "Medvedev will lead the Duma election campaign as chairman and he will not appear on the election list," the source said. ”
Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Medvedev is currently Vice Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the United Russia Party, and has held positions as Prime Minister of Russia and President of Russia. His influence in Russian folklore is second only to Putin. Once considered Putin's successor, he is not on Mr. Putin's list of nominees.
Perhaps Medvedev would prefer to leave the opportunity to others and play a positive role in promoting a smooth transition of power in Russia.
Russia is currently facing problems such as demographic crisis, economic crisis and strategic suppression by the West, and to solve these problems, it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person, but collective wisdom is needed. Putin's nomination of the above five candidates clearly has deeper considerations. Putin hopes that Russia can make breakthroughs in diplomacy, military, economy, population growth and fight against the epidemic.
In fact, no matter who takes over Putin's scepter, it will not compromise on the hegemony of the United States, Russia is under the siege and suppression of the United States to become stronger and stronger, the treatment of hegemonic behavior, Putin is not ambiguous, I believe that Shoigu and Lavrov will not be ambiguous!
