Russian President Vladimir Putin was a very rational and exemplary manager during his tenure in power in 2008-2010.

Former speechwriter of the Russian President in 2008-2010, Abbas Gallyamov, told about this in an interview with TSN.ua.

"He was very rational, logical. He was just such an exemplary manager: he clearly formulated tasks, clearly allocated areas of responsibility, knew who to ask and for what. There

at all, everything was very rational," he shared memoirs of the dictator's ex-speechwriter.

"If I had been told at that moment that this same person would do what he is doing now, I would not have believed it. It would have seemed impossible. Because from the point of view of logic and ratio, it is almost impossible to explain what is happening today." - added Gallyamov.

He also said that after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he tried to understand "how it happened that that person became this person."

"I came to the conclusion that (Putin - ed.) is simply so multifaceted, multifactorial, one might even say,

. And circumstances have changed a lot," Gallyamov said.

"Ukraine's issue is an issue on the solution of which depends on its political fate, and in fact, its physical life.

He noted that in recent years, the emotions of the Russian dictator increasingly dominate logic and he feels a threat to his power.

Thus, after 2018, the ratings of the President of the Russian Federation began to fall and it was clear that he had entered a period of decline.

The only question was when Putin would get rid of power.

"He constantly felt threatened from more and more directions. And he became more and more emotional.

on the one hand, has a clear logical basis, but at the same time, the decision itself was taken only in a situation when he was very stressed at the moment when he made this decision. Although, I repeat, there was logic in all of this," Gallyamov assessed.

We will remind, according to the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak, the defeats on the battlefield and the general state of the Russian Federation after the attack on Ukraine desacralized both Putin and his entourage.

This will lead to internal sabotage, loss of process control, criminalization of society and ethnic conflicts in Russia.
