This news is a bit unexpected, a little-known Russian female journalist is going to challenge Putin.
Reuters reported a few days ago that Ekaterina Duntsova, a former local TV reporter in Russia, said in an interview that she would run for Russia.
Who is this Dunzova?How can you have such great determination and courage to challenge Putin?What exactly is the motivation for this?Is there another layer of context?
According to reports, Dunzova is 40 years old this year, previously a reporter for a local Russian television station, has three children, and is currently divorced.
She recently announced plans to attend Russia** in March 2024. However, according to the Russian constitution, she needs to collect 300,000 signatures from her supporters in order to qualify for the election.
This signature system, which is being implemented in many countries, is intended to raise the bar and not waste electoral resources. If there is no such system, anyone who signs up for the election can run for election, it is purely an increase in the workload of the election, and it is completely troubleshooting.
Putin's term ends in May 2024. According to the March 2021 law of the Federation Council of Russia (upper house) on terms of office, Putin can be re-elected for two more terms after the end of the current term.
The Russian Constitution stipulates that the term of office of each ** is 6 years. As long as Putin can continue to win elections, then he will be able to work in the ** position for another 12 years, that is, until 2036, when Putin will be 84 years old.
Is such an age considered old?If you compare Biden, who is 81 years old this year, Putin does not count. Because Biden has already announced that he will run for re-election, if he wins, then he will not leave office until he is 86 years old.
At present, Putin has not yet expressed his position on whether to participate in next year's ** elections. But it is widely believed that he will run and will win without any suspense.
This is because, at present, there is no one in Russia who can challenge Putin's prestige and status. Even Dmitry Medvedev, the former and current deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, could not challenge Putin's prestige and status.
And the announcement of this female journalist's candidacy for the next Russian ** will inevitably have a clear motive and a deep background.
As for why she wants to run for Russia**, the information she has released is also very limited. "Any armed conflict will end sooner or later, and I hope it will end soon," she told Reuters. People are very tired of what is happening. And this boredom did not manifest itself. ”
This means that she hopes that after her victory, she can end the Russian-Ukrainian war as soon as possible and relieve people's boredom of war.
Perhaps, this is also the motivation and confidence of her decision to participate in the ** election. As a journalist, she will obviously know that some people in Russia are tired of the war, and if they run and play the card to end the war, they will really win a lot of votes, if not a majority of votes.
From this point of view, I believe what Duntsova said to Reuters: she is not a pawn used to legitimize the elections and hopes that there will be a second round. Duntsova denied any connection with the Kremlin, "Neither the Kremlin, nor the oligarchs, nor big business support me." ”
That is, she was not arranged internally by Russia as a "companion" for the elections.
So, is she like Zelensky, after being bought by the United States, and then manipulating Ukrainian political forces behind the scenes to influence the election, and finally Zelensky became ** and became a puppet of the United States**.
This possibility is the greatest. The basic means of carrying out the "color revolution" in the United States is to buy off some people who have rebelled against them and use them as cadres. The key areas of the United States for the sake of the "color revolution" are people, diplomats, politicians, the judiciary, education, and the military.
This Duntsova did not announce that she would run for the next election in Russia through Russia, but through the British Reuters news agency, and created momentum for it, so it cannot be ruled out that she may be the future candidate of Russia that the West is looking for.
Putin's authority and position in Russia were established by him with his factual achievements. Over the past two decades, Russia's economy has grown by 57 times, from 259.7 billion US dollars in 2000 to 1$48 trillion. Fulfilled his promise to "give me twenty years and give you back a strong Russia". At present and even for many years to come, his position is truly unchallenged.
