Polish President Unlikely to Block Tusk’s Appointment as PM
1 December 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought disillusionment with Vladimir Putin and the regime he symbolises. Putin’s mounting troubles are not that surprising given several political missteps, and while Russia will not collapse like the USSR, future change may be quite dramatic.
“The Putin system is going to the dogs! With this epidemic, one has to be totally blind not to see it!”. A friend of mine, a successful Russian PR executive, spoke to me from his spacious house near Moscow, where he self-isolated among the tasteful collection of modern Russian paintings.
His family is also protecting itself from coronavirus – but at their villa in one of the warmer EU countries. His yacht is moored somewhere in a Mediterranean marina, awaiting my friend’s return to a routine of leisurely fixing deals while sipping martinis on the deck. That is if the routine ever resumes.
As an entrepreneur, he was never overly politicised or squirmish when offered to work for Russia’s state-owned enterprises which dominate the economy – as long as cash kept flowing in.
