The Sobchak campaign's chief political expert says Russia's problem is with Russians, not Putin
Stanislav Belkovsky, the chief political expert for Ksenia Sobchak’s presidential campaign, said in a recent interview that his candidate won’t purposefully criticize Russia’s acting head of state, Vladimir Putin. In Belkovsky’s opinion, this strategy will “de-Putinize” the minds of voters and raise the “moral quality” of Sobchak’s candidacy. Sobchak herself has stated previously that she is running for office, first and foremost, as a candidate “against all.”
