In Russia, after the coming to power of the new president, no shocks will occur, said President Vladimir Putin.
He spoke about this, answering a question from an NBC journalist about whether “everything will collapse overnight” when the president is replaced.
“Sometime another person will definitely come to my place. And why should all this collapse, or what? … I am sure that the fundamental foundations of the Russian statehood, the Russian economy, the political system will be such that it will stand firmly on its feet and confidently look into the future, “- his words are quoted on the website The Kremlin.
The President added that he has so closely linked his fate with the fate of the country that for him “there is no more significant task than strengthening Russia.” At the same time, Putin declared his readiness to support those potential successors who are ready to devote not years to the service of the country, but their entire life, even if they are critical of any areas of his activity or of him personally.
