The declaration of businessman Arkady Rotenberg, close to the head of the Kremlin, that the “Putin palace” in Gelendzhik belongs to him and not to the president, will not be able to quench the wave of protests, believes the Russian political analyst Stanislav Belkovsky.
Russian billionaire Arkady Rotenberg’s statement that the Gelendzhik palace, which opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) associates with Russian President Vladimir Putin, actually belongs to him, is unproductive.
This opinion was expressed on January 30 on the air of the radio station Echo of Moscow by the Russian political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky.
He believes that the statement by Rotenberg, who is a friend of Putin, should have convinced would-be protesters that the palace has nothing to do with Putin.
“Arkady Rotenberg’s statement in this regard is quite counterproductive. Everyone knows that Rotenberg is a typical Putin oligarch, a personal friend of the great leader, and who else, if not him, can take responsibility,” he said in such cases the late Mikhail. Yuryevich Lesin, once the authoritarian curator of the old-school Russian traditional media, “we don’t have enough creativity today,” Belkovsky said.
The political scientist believes that “if, on the contrary, the Kremlin wanted to convince that this is Putin’s palace, it would be necessary to free Rotenberg and declare him the owner.”
“Although there were other more original versions. For example, these 16 underground floors could be declared the seaside beach recreation center for vampires, representatives of the vampire community. According to semi-official data, 3.72% of the population of Russia are vampires No one protects your rights, except perhaps Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, who, being president, changed the time so that it was dawn closer to 10 am, and therefore the average vampire could still get to work in the dark, “the political scientist commented ironically.
On January 19, FBK published its investigation “Putin’s Palace. The story of the biggest bribery” on the residence of the President of the Russian Federation in the Krasnodar Territory. The investigation says this is the most protected and secret facility in the Russian Federation. It has the dimensions of 39 principalities of Monaco and was built so that it could not be accessed by land, sea or air. The investigation alleged that the local Federal Security Service “urged” him to avoid Cape Idokopas, where the palace is located, a mile away.
Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov called the information about the president’s secret palace false. He named the owners of the estate in Gelendzhik entrepreneurs, but did not say their names.
On January 25, Putin himself commented on the video: He said that he had not seen the entire film, but had seen selections of videos separately. Putin denies that the palace belongs to him and calls the investigation “compilation, editing and brainwashing of Russians.”
On January 30, Arkady Rotenberg called himself the owner of the palace. He claims to be building a hotel there.
