Related: About this forum"He's Gone Mad": Putin Purges His Inner Circle As He Grows Extremely Paranoid - The Russian Dude
People thought that some politicians in Russia can be really untouchable. Such as for example Sergei Shoigu, the ex Minister of Defense along with his entire group. But when his deputy Timur Ivanov got arrested, it initiated the chain reaction of arrests which lasts until today. No one is longer safe. Shoigu's circle is slowly being destroyed by the Purge. And with each day passing, Putin grows more paranoid.
