Paranoia Grows: One of Putin's Most Trusted Confidants Just Got Purged - The Russian Dude



Some politicians in Russia are made to take the blame of other people. That is the founding principle of the regime of Putin. And when unstable region of Kursk got its new governor 7 months ago, his role was predetermined from the beginning. He was installed there to take the blame and get kicked out in the future. That is precisely what happened in the middle of April 2025, when one of Putin's most trusted confidants got purged. Putin's paranoia grows.
