According to media reports, the bodyguards protecting Russian President Vladimir Putin and the government in Moscow were preparing for an attempted coup. The authorities fear that the bodyguards responsible for the safety of the head of state may be disloyal. A domestic intelligence whistleblower also reported a power struggle in the Kremlin that could lead to “chaos”.
As the investigative platform “The Inside” reported, a training session was allegedly held in Moscow on October 26 to prevent a coup. According to internal documents obtained by the platform, authorities are most concerned about the psychological impact of a coup on security officials.
There are concerns that guards are behaving anti-government by influencing mass media and social media. The security service FSO would employ 40,000 full-time employees.
Conflicts between Putin, Prigozhin and Kadyrov
Information of concern to Putin has also been leaked from the Russian domestic secret service FSB. A whistleblower said a war is raging between the president and some of his closest allies, according to Newsweek. There would be conflicts in the Kremlin – according to the insider, the focus is on the founder of the Wagner war mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigoshin, and the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. They are seen as a political threat to Putin.
However, the whistleblower explained that “there is no model of ‘simple’ transfer of power” in Russia. “It could start as a random uprising with nothing but looting and chaotic skirmishes between all involved,” the insider said. “Let me try to explain: the struggle of the security services against Prigozhin’s structures – a real war against each other – is bad, but generally unavoidable.”
Insider: “Chaos, Civil War, Collapse Ahead”
The Secret Service agent draws another scenario: “Or there will be battles between the regions over resource sharing. Or a struggle between different forces for control over regions or parts of the country.” The consequences are devastating: “Chaos, civil war, collapse – yes, it’s all ahead of us. It’s inevitable.” Many of his compatriots have “passed the point of no return. They intend to be petty tsars in the territories they can conquer. At least they think so.”
