Paranoid Putin promotes family to top jobs, sidelining FSB allies
Vladimir Putin has rejected Soviet norms and begun promoting members of his family to key roles in the Kremlin. Nataliya Vasilyeva reports this is a symptom of Putin’s isolation.

Waiting to see what tactical "prowess" the former bodyguard displays against the experienced combat troops of Ukraine…
Absence of education,i.e. poor knowledge, low IQ.Shamefull
The lies are incredible
she maaaaddddd
This is it . I give him a month . The only people that he feels he can trust , are his family and " friends ". Why on earth would they be any more competent than the Yes Men with whom he surrounded himself ?
Classic collapse of a dictator .
when oligarchs stole trillions what else can he do.
Just nepotism, he's drowning
Mafia behavior.
A bodyguard to run an army?
What could possibly go wrong?
This explains the kremlins incompetence but is a common trait among despots
Gotta promote ppl that are loyal. Experience not necessary. 😂
Africa 🌍 ❤❤❤❤Russia 🇷🇺 and Putin is a good person like previous Russia leaders🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Russia will be made to realize that the Kremlin is saturated with corruption, including Putin.
He must dread everything he must realise people are after him.
Not making wise choices due to his paranoia.
Our Almighty GOD Creator in heaven is always perfectly good to people others except evil person.
Sounds like trump taught him .
Just like Felon Donald Trump.,,Both criminals should be in jail.
And this is why russia fails, nepotism
Slava Ukraine
When you've had as many people killed as he has in the last two years' relaxation is a thing of the past. It's a real-life Russian rendition of Macbeth
He's not a politician He's a gangster and gangsters usually get shot in the back by someone they trusted, even the most loyal bodyguard can be bribed or threatened by someone
Lets hope him and his best friend trump go to prison
Like trump
Game of Thrones: "The Small Circle seems to get smaller every week."
This is a vwry good sign. Russia will be even more incompetent than they were before
Trump appointed unqualified people to top positions, too.
The invasion of the Kursk Oblast will have far reaching and very significant consequences for Russia. As pointed out, this the first time a foreign military has invaded the mother country of Russia since World War 2. Putin seriously miscalculated when decided to steal land from other countries in order to fortify against invasion by foreign armies from outside Russia. Rather ironic, don’t you think?
He’s the best!!!
Sad old. Man
Piece a garbage
He knows… his time is coming… the circle is tightening up around him… and he will not have a scape route … it will be all over soon, Putin
Putin is toast just like Trumpinski!
Talk about paranoid? This woman is paranoid about Putin! As are many other sorry people with rich imaginations.
typical for paranoid patients
By appointing relatives they too become targets of the coming political crisis.
Putin's imbeciles.
His circle of trust is shrinking, and its incompetance will grow exponentially.
In his situation, it makes sense to promote those he has been close to and therefore trusts.
The internet and medias float with videos and reports of a very active Putin, so it maybe will become difficult to convince people, that Putin isolate himself 🙄
America is more paranoid with Ukraine's failures 😂😂😂
