Dear subscribers and channel guests!

The nearly four-hour public address by the man appointed as the President of Russia and resembling Vladimir Putin was largely addressed to US President Donald Trump. The double was tasked with saying everything that would please Trump, and he carried out this program as best as he could. The main challenge for the Russian leadership is to avoid falling out with its main "ally," the US President, in the midst of the transition of power.

The Politburo praised the double's performance yesterday: he did what he could, and that's good enough. Even the rather humorous slip of the tongue about being the "CIA director" didn't provoke any negative reactions from his handlers. Essentially, he's as much a "Putin" as the "CIA director."

The double has another significant event ahead: Putin's birthday. He'll have to accept numerous gifts and congratulations, including from leaders of other countries, but this is nothing new for him, so he'll be able to handle it. Trump has already warned that the phone call with "Putin," scheduled for this coming weekend, will be postponed until October 7.

The hawks in the Politburo are actively discussing ways to "destabilize" NATO. In addition to various hybrid operations involving numerous unmanned aerial vehicles in the airspace of alliance member states, there are more original and witty proposals. For example, the development of a hybrid operation is nearing completion, the idea of which is a "reverse provocation." A reconnaissance drone belonging to the Hungarian armed forces is to be shot down in Hungarian airspace on the border between Ukraine and Hungary. The "downed" drone is expected to crash into a Hungarian border town. The Hungarian leadership, according to the plan, will claim responsibility for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and declare this an "act of aggression," requesting the invocation of NATO's Article 5. Regarding the implementation of this plan, Viktor Orbán, a long-time and eternal debtor to the Russian leadership, is ready to carry out any orders. Overall, even such an absurd situation, according to the hawks in the Politburo, could cause, if not a full-blown crisis in NATO, then certainly temporary tension.

Last weekend, US President Donald Trump had a telephone conversation with "Putin." Although the Politburo had been eagerly awaited, it offered no clarity. The conversation lasted no more than twenty minutes. Trump raised all the issues, and he also thwarted any attempts by "Putin" to change the subject. Notably, Trump refused to discuss peace initiatives or the state of affairs on the front lines in the war between Russia and Ukraine. The conversation boiled down to a brief discussion of Israel and Palestine, China and Taiwan, and the "nuclear deal" with Iran. At the end of the conversation, "Putin" proposed holding similar talks the following weekend, to which Trump replied, "Maybe, if I have time." The very fact that the Politburo had even called was a positive development, and they hope for a warming of relations in the near future.

Among the Russian leadership, the topic of the transition of power has taken center stage, overshadowing not only Trump and the war with Ukraine, but also a host of important issues in the economy, the financial system, and oil production and refining. Any pressing issues that arise are perceived more as a backdrop to the transition than as a major crisis that could disrupt the country's core political process. Last week, the Politburo focused on "correct media coverage" of Dmitry Patrushev and his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. So far, the transition is proceeding according to plan, and everyone is happy.

We would like to remind you that several months before the start of Russia's war against Ukraine, we warned several times about this practically predetermined scenario. Now, by analogy, we are reporting on the final stage of the major transition of power in Russia. The Politburo is determined to complete the transition at all costs; at least, this confidence is being expressed by virtually all significant figures.

While previously, the end of the war, at least its hot phase, was considered an important part, or rather, a necessary backdrop, for the transfer of power, now war is no longer considered an obstacle. The Russian leadership considers it essential to maintain good relations with Donald Trump, believing this to be a guarantee of US non-interference in Russian domestic political processes.

The American president's recent harsh statements have not yet significantly impacted sentiment within the Politburo, but tensions are beginning to be felt. The ability of European countries and associations to influence the transition process in Russia is viewed with skepticism. The Russian leadership believes they can easily distract Europe from domestic events using hybrid methods.

China is another important factor of influence. Xi Jinping and his comrades are aware of the upcoming processes and have given their tacit consent, but Russia is currently so economically dependent on China that any unfriendly action by Beijing could jeopardize the implementation of any political projects in Russia. Nevertheless, the Politburo is confident that China will not interfere and does not consider the potential threat from this direction to be a primary one.

Despite the recently reached agreement on weekly phone calls between Donald Trump and "Putin," the US President never called last weekend. The Politburo had been hoping for Trump's initiative until the last minute, so much so that they didn't request a call from the Russian side, likely for fear of being rebuffed.

Yesterday, it was decided to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and make a courtesy to the American President. To avoid appearing humiliating, the courtesy had to be combative. Thus, the idea of ​​a "message from the Russian President" emerged, during a completely routine Security Council meeting. "Putin," if you put aside the belligerent veneer, made a "gesture of goodwill" by extending the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty voluntarily and, in fact, unilaterally. This, according to the majority in the Politburo, is exactly what Trump needs and should make the US President more loyal to the Russian leadership.

Trump loves such gestures, and it worked. It's unclear how long this will last, but for the Politburo, even a week is crucial now. The end of the great transition of power is very near.

Yesterday, a man appointed as the Russian president and resembling Vladimir Putin expressed the negative opinion, formed in the Politburo, about quotas in government structures for SMO participants. As we have stated previously, no one intends to allow combat veterans and SMO veterans to govern the country. With rare exceptions, the door will be closed to them at all levels.

And, of course, no one will allow SMO participants to fight illegal migrants. The Russian leadership certainly doesn't need new power and chaos in the country, especially at the height of transit of power.

The real plans for where they actually intend to send people who returned from the war and for whatever reason are unable to continue military service are connected with remote regions of Siberia and the Far East, where physical labor in harsh climatic conditions is in demand.

Fairy tales of a heavenly life for "SMO" veterans are nothing more than propaganda.
