Like father, like son: Vladimir Putin apparently specifically supports the children of old confidants. About a new generation that is currently growing into the Russian power circle.
There was still a lot of mystery about the powerful father on Monday, but a lot more was already known about the son. First of all, let’s talk about the older ones: Nikolai Patrushev, 72 years old, will be replaced as Secretary of the Security Council in Russia by the previous Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The Kremlin wanted to announce very soon what new task Patrushev will take on in Russia. But what his son Dmitry Patrushev would become was already a topic of discussion in the Russian parliament on Monday morning.
