Yevgeny Satanovsky foresaw a period of turmoil after Russian President Vladimir Putin leaves office 'somewhere in the 2030s.'

A former Russian state television pundit who was recently fired from his on-screen role for besmirching two foreign ministry officials has forecast that the Kremlin will fall into turmoil in the coming decade.In a recent video recording, Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the Middle East Institute in Moscow, said that 'the opportunity of collapse will be somewhere in the 2030s, because Putin isn't permanent; he's aging.

But this vice-like grip on power from the former KGB agent has led to questions about who could replace him and continue to control such an expansive and an at-times fractious nation, whose relative stability after the fall of the Soviet Union has been marked by Putin's hold on the Kremlin.The first chink in Putin's political armor came earlier this year, when he faced an armed rebellion on the part of the now deceased Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
