La lutte pour la succession de Vladimir Poutine en Russie fait rage au Kremlin
Principaux renseignements La lutte pour la succession au Kremlin a discrètement commencé. Les indicateurs actuels suggèrent que Vladimir Poutine écarte délibérément ses contemporains — tels que le chef du FSB, Aleksandr Bortnikov, qui approche les 75 ans — au profit d’une cohorte plus jeune. Cette stratégie trouve son origine dans une interprétation particulière de l’histoire. […]

Deze strategie is geworteld in een specifieke interpretatie van de geschiedenis. Het Kremlin […]

There's also a story involving Yevgeny Lovyrev (FSB Deputy Director) and Yablonsky (RusInvest) whose assets are being seized by the bodyguard clan, a possible conspiracy against Putin by Alpaty, and more. I don't know if Bortnikov is linked to all this, but it could be an explanation.

*rumor about Bortnikov being on his way out

Bortnikov out would just be the usual ritual: another intel chief fed to the wolves after the failures he helped author. The Ratcliffe meeting stays unconfirmed by Moscow, so file it under rumor, not fact.

🧐 I’m not sure if it can elevated above rumor yet but…
There are rumors that FSB head Alexander Bortnikov might be on his way out.
Which is interesting considering Western publications said he met with Ratcliffe and I personally never saw Russia confirm it.

The Kremlin only respects power. Ratcliffe at least operates from an intelligence baseline. He knows what the FSB and SVR actually are. He sat with Bortnikov and Naryshkin and didn't come back parroting Kremlin talking points about "legitimate security concerns.
