Speaking before a select audience of members of the international community, the Russian ex-premier offered interesting insights into the political system created by and for the actual president. Although he expects a “dark period” of turmoil and permanent infighting among the elites, there is, according to him, room for hope. He firmly ruled out the possibility for a nuclear strike and came out for relentless efforts to tell people in Russia the truth. Further details cannot be divulged because of security reasons.
