Author of Putin's biography: The palace near Gelendzhik was a possible refuge for Assad
A palace near Gelendzhik was considered as a possible refuge for the family of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Director Alexander Korobko, co-author of a biography of the Russian president, stated this in an interview with the Tsargrad television channel , according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I already hinted in a previous interview about the possible function of the facility in Gelendzhik as a possible “shelter” for the Assad family. And, anticipating the cries of Navalny’s associates: no, the rulers, who are strategic allies of Russia, could not live in a hostel on the street, well, for example, Boris Galushkin. And any elites who cooperate with our country must be sure that they will not only be accepted in the event of a threat, but will also be provided with a high level of reception - at the level of the first person, and maybe even “higher” - well, taking into account certain cultural characteristics of certain regions.
So, in addition to the function of an “elite refuge”, the palace has more than once served as a secret analogue of the Livadia Palace. There, behind closed doors, receptions were held that reformatted a number of things, for example, in Africa and the Middle East in favor of Russia. In the interests of the security of our country and our people,” Korobko said.
According to him, it was precisely based on the wishes of one of the African leaders that a room with gambling tables, etc. appeared in the palace.
He answered the question where such data came from: “These are our interlocutors in the top management of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSO of Russia), I can’t name names. We knew about the function of this object, about the oligarchs who initially tried to donate it to the state (and how it disposed of this “gift”) since 2012. But due to the secrecy of the project, we could not write about it in our book.”
“Navalny (and “competitive” foreign intelligence services, who may know about the true function of the object) “brought” him to the spotlight. Some are rubbing their hands, because in the States bloggers on a boat would simply be shot. There are warnings from kilometers away about shooting to kill. Probably, now, “thanks” to Navalny, it will be the same with us. And for distinguished foreign guests they will choose another location. Our country, thank God, is big,” Korobko emphasized.
As a reminder, a report from a palace near Gelendzhik, where renovations are underway , appeared online today. It was claimed that the work would be completed in five years.
Navalny himself, in his scandalous film, claimed that the palace was built a long time ago and was used from 2011 to 2014, and then, due to design errors, mold allegedly appeared there, and expensive interior renovations had to begin.
