In today’s installment of “news from the feudal state,” here is yet another highly telling move:
Even in the late Soviet Union, this did not happen. Yes, the whole system ran on the well-connected and privileged golden youth, but nepotism and cronyism were officially condemned.
A minister would place his dear son in the diplomatic service, not in the area directly under his own supervision.
Now it is all so brazenly out in the open. They really are preparing us for Putin’s son-in-law, Kirill Shamalov, to become the country’s next president.
