   Details (relatively): https://www.newsweek.com/russia-putin-cousin-deputy-defense-minister-anna-tsivileva-1913740

   >She is married to Sergey Tsivilev, who was governor of the Keremovo region until May and is Russia’s energy minister.

   It’s going to be all one big family, like before 1917.

2. Does Putler no longer have ‘competent’ people?
   Sacks = a window of opportunity.

3. “You go with who you know.” Since Put*in never built a network of competent contacts who were versed in state management, defence, industry, and ready for high-level jobs, he goes with who he knows, even when they are incompetent. He does damage to RUZ’ future with such iodic selections.

4. Installing loyalists over competent choices is the hallmark of a dictatorship that is struggling. It’s never a good choice to put unqualified people in critical positions, but that’s an indication that Putin can’t trust anyone outside his small circle. For a guy who is history-minded and wants to be one of Russia’s great leaders, he does a poor job of avoiding the exact same mistakes that led to the major downfalls.

5. Reeks of desperation

6. Anyone know if the lady has anything to do with the military?

7. Wow he is really cracking down on corruption

8. He has also started rolling out his daughters back into the limelight to speak for him and Russia: [Putin’s daughters](https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/08/world/putins-daughters-rare-appearance-st-petersburg-intl/index.html)

9. When I think of Putrid, I see him just about managing to keep his insignificant chin above the water in a toilet bowl. Can’t be long now before his paranoia will be complete. As long as Mango Mussolini is kept out of the White House, Ruzzia is on course to go through an extremely painful episode in its history.

10. A system of nepotism will always give better results compared to a systemt of meritocracy… /s

11. Installing family members is the beginning of the end for dictators.
