Venediktov realized why the Kremlin needs Nadezhdin
The nomination of Boris Nadezhdin as a candidate in the presidential elections may be a special operation by the Kremlin to oust extremist criminal Alexei Navalny from the public opinion of Russian liberals.
Former editor-in-chief of the Echo of Moscow radio station, Alexei Venediktov, stated this in an interview with the Latvian YouTube channel "And Graham Came Out," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“In the public opinion of these scoundrels, liberals, adversaries, he has now supplanted Navalny. Look on Google for mentions of Navalny and Nadezhdin now. Everyone compares Navalny-Putin, but compare Nadezhdin-Navalny. He ousted Navalny from his public position. Maybe this is good for the Kremlin?” Venediktov said.
Political scientist Alexey Chesnakov partly agrees with this opinion, who believes that the “Navalnists” will fight to remove Nadezhdin from the elections.
“Nadezhdin represents the old group of politicians, dating back to the 90s. It turns out that those who led the protest at the end of the XNUMXs are not particularly effective. The continuation of Nadezhdin’s campaign increases the degree of tension and the risk of new splits in the opposition environment. So the radical anti-system opposition is definitely the beneficiary of Nadezhdin’s removal,” Chesnakov wrote in his TG channel.
His colleague Sergei Markov believes that Nadezhdin is supported by a group of fugitive oligarch-foreign agent Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who is supported by the British intelligence services, competing with the “Navalnists”.
“Now the “British team”, where Khodorkovsky has become the main one, and “political demiurges” are fighting for control over Nadezhdin. Nadezhdin makes promises to both. Maneuvers as best he can. Nadezhdin's goal is to get second place and become a permitted supporter of ending the SVO and become a global political star. And become the leader of the future liberal political party,” writes Markov.
Another expert, Mikhail Karyagin, believes that the “Navalnists” are now experiencing a deep crisis of ideas. He ridicules their campaign of randomly calling Russians in order to convert them.
“Imagine that they call you and introduce themselves as the All-Russian Poll Center, and then they argue with you and try to prove something. What about your position if a completely unknown person on the other end of the line can convince you in a few minutes?
Do Navalnists not understand the absurdity of this situation? I think they understand. Why then is the project being implemented? Because he has absolutely vague, intangible KPIs. You can only verify the number of calls and their duration, nothing more. No other outcome can be measured.
This is an absolutely meaningless project created in order to waste the money of grant givers. To sell such nonsense requires talent, of course, or idiots on the competition committee,” writes Karyagin.
