Vladislav Surkov no longer in charge of the Donbass

Zot'ev writes that Surkov has been removed from the Donbass. As we know from our own sources, the Kremlin decided to remove Vladislav Surkov from his role as informal mentor of the fledgling republics of the LC and DNR.

All of Surkov's people Surkov have been withdrawn from the territory of the Republic, and the "Fund for local associations of Donbass" structure, through which Vladislav Yurevich controlled not only the delivery of humanitarian assistance, but also the restoration of infrastructure of the Republic, dissolved, and will soon be eliminated.

The departure of Surkov connected with the changing priorities of the Government of the Russian Federation. In the near future of the republic is waiting for the reformatting of the administrations. The first public sign of such changes in the situation came with the arrest of high-ranking officials in the LC, suspected of having links with the Ukrainian oligarchs.

It was then that Surkov's network in Lugansk was attacked by the local security forces, employees of the MGB and MVD LC, who actually had a velvet revolution and strengthened their position, separate from the civil administration, and did it thanks to the support in the higher echelons of power in Russia. Most likely, with the departure of Surkov. the security forces in the DNI and LC will become dominant.

PS. If so (practice management processes in Donbass repeatedly gave examples where decisions have changed in the short term to the contrary), then it is in my opinion a good sign. Not necessarily, but it is possible that changes in the mill process operators in the Donbas is effectively connected with the recent corruption scandal in the leadership of the LC, which of course is not only connected with the antics of Lyamina (arrested before the New Year) and Kurchenko (oligarch prohibited business activities in the DNI and LC), but also to the activities of a number of other persons who were patrons not only in the LC or Ukraine but also in Russia.

Not a guarantee that the Russian hammer is about to descend upon the CIA's Ukrainian thugs, but an essential prelude.
