The leader of the National Republican Army (NRA), identified only as “Aleksandr”, told the Kyiv Post in an interview published on Thursday that Putin would be removed from power “as soon as he becomes uncomfortable for the elites”. “Perhaps, he will spend three days lying in the cabinet like one of his predecessors. But it is very likely that he will lose his head in exchange for sanctions relief,” Alexander said. “So the old man will become the autumn one and be charged with everything that happened. Well, he certainly deserves it. “However, his companions will not be able to escape it either. We have noted every move.” Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during the Navy Day Parade on July 31, 2022, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The leader of a group that claimed responsibility for Daria Dugina’s death predicted the end of Putin’s reign would happen “quietly and fearfully”. Contributor/Getty Images The anti-Putin group was unknown before Dugina, 29, died in a car explosion on August 20 that the Investigative Committee’s Moscow Region department attributed to a bomb planted in her vehicle. Dugina was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a political philosopher and commentator known for promoting Russian propaganda and credited with being the architect of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Dugin has sometimes been referred to as “Putin’s mastermind” and “Putin’s Rasputin”. After Dugina’s death, former Duma member Ilya Ponomarev said he was approached by the NRA, who allegedly authorized him to release their “manifesto.” The NRA’s “manifesto” said the group was against the Russia-Ukraine war and warned that Russian officials who did not resign would be “destroyed.” Both Dugin and Dugina were the targets of the car explosion, according to Ponomarev. However, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has named other suspects it believes are behind the attack. Last week, Russian state media reported that the FSB accused Ukraine’s secret services and a female Ukrainian national of plotting Dugina’s death. The FSB claimed the Ukrainian traveled to Moscow in July to prepare for the assassination and then fled to Estonia. Ukraine has categorically denied any involvement in Dugina’s death. On Monday, the FSB accused another Ukrainian national of involvement in the blast. He claimed that Ukrainian Bogdan Tsyganenko helped the female suspect by providing her with a fake ID and fake license plates and helping her assemble the bomb. Aleksandr confirmed in the Kyiv Post interview that Dugina and her father were the targets. He also said that while the NRA does not believe an armed overthrow of the Russian government is currently possible, a split among Russian elites could begin to crumble Putin’s regime from within. “And we, the NRA, will do it from below,” Aleksandr added. There have been several unconfirmed indications that Putin is losing the trust of some Russian elites. In May, an independent Russian news outlet reported that a growing number of elites, including some who support the invasion of Ukraine, were unhappy with him. In March, Ukrainian intelligence claimed that Russian elites were plotting to oust Putin from power and had a successor in mind. Newsweek was unable to independently confirm the reports, and several months have passed without any known anti-Putin uprising among the elites since Ukrainian intelligence was released. Newsweek has reached out to the Kremlin for comment.
