Vladimir Putin is a “bare king”, which led the country with the weakening economy, which will eventually lead to a power struggle between rival clans in Moscow – former Russian oligarch, then opposition leader, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

Tomorrow, when it comes to regime change, you will have to build a new relationship, and you will have very little time – Khodorkovsky warned at a meeting held by a research center Chatham House. Putin is a powerful leader. King is naked – he said.

According to Khodorkovsky, Putin is at the end of his reign, but this period may take a long time and be painful and dangerous both for Russia and the West. Former oligarch fears that the conflict in Ukraine may get worse, because Putin’s goals are far-reaching. Putin does not need the Donbass. He wants to determine the future of the world in talks with US President – said Khodorkovsky. Putin dreams of the conclusion of the Agreement with the US on the new-old governance in the world, which is divided into spheres of influence – he added.

The 51-year-old is currently Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once one of the richest men in Russia, was a major shareholder in Yukos oil company. In 2003, after he set himself in opposition to Vladimir Putin and began to criticize him and his politics, he was arrested and convicted for embezzlement and tax fraud. I never confessed to the charges against him – claimed that the arrest and trial were punishment for his political ambitions.

In 2013, he was pardoned by Putin and went abroad.
