almost invisible chief of staff, again he poses no threat to putin. he was a figurehead, he does what putin has told, he doesn t prevent any kind of political threat. you also have to remember that there is some very important local elections coming up in russia on the 10th of september, in which, although the rulings of united russia party is going to come out victorious almost everywhere, there are some regions where communist party candidates, other fringe where communist party candidates, otherfringe radical where communist party candidates, other fringe radical candidates are, are making themselves heard and known and could put up a good fight. so putin does not want to many charismatic figures anywhere to muddy the waters. particularly with the present and residential elections coming up next year. samantha, vitelli, thank you very much for some really interesting information you ve brought us over
