As the Crimean “media” announced on July 16, gauleiter Sergei Aksyonov “proposed candidates for the post of senators from Crimea,” in the form of a participant in Russian aggression and “hero of Russia” Yuri Nimchenko and chess player Sergei Karyakin. Naturally, for the “head of Crimea” the role in “nominating candidates” is purely nominal, and these persons have become the Kremlin’s “final option” on this issue.
We have previously written many times that the Kremlin decided to remove the current “senators” Sergei Tsekov and Olga Kovitidi from the “federation council”, due to their “unkempt” and frankly absurd public “stream of consciousness”, generated by outright intellectual limitations and low erudition, with which the Kremlin was “decidedly unclear on what to do.”
We also wrote, that the Kremlin decided on Karyakin as a “new senator” back in June, but for the second “chair” there was a long auction, with such “candidates” of collaborators being named as the criminal “mayor” of Yalta Yanina Pavlenko, and the former Minister of Education under Yanukovych Dmitry Tabachnyk.
However, they were considered potentially “too risky” due to the presence of “own connections” and controlled “businesses”. For these purposes, the popular “tank hero” and “volunteer grandmaster” are most suitable for the Kremlin, mainly due to their ability to publicly speak “strictly according to instructions” and the absence of “horizontal political connections.”
