All problems of Russia will be solved by Tsar Simeon

On May 5, 2006, the Political News Agency published Stanislav Skitsyn's article "How to Solve the 2008 Problem" devoted to the problem of President Putin's successor. The best way out, the author believes, is the restoration of the monarchy.

Since "the political elite of Russia is afraid to entrust the choice of a new leader to the people" , fearing that "free and fair elections" will bring the opposition to power" , a monarchy is preferable. It is good "at least because it does not require painfully looking for a successor. Successors are spontaneously generated, so to speak, in a natural way .

The only problem is the candidacy of the future tsar, but S. Skitsyn solves it quite simply. Having considered the candidacies of the "Kirillovichi" and finding them unsuitable, he proposes to invite to the throne of any European monarch, for example, Elizabeth II ("If Putin's successor is Elizabeth II, Putin himself is the governor general, and the country has a Westminster-type parliamentary system, then all the problems of 2008 are solved" ) or the Danish Queen Margrethe II ( "of course, with Putin's invariable general government" ).

However, the most rational option for introducing a monarchy in Russia, says S. Skitsyn, is an invitation to the throne of an undisputed Orthodox monarch: "This is the Bulgarian Tsar Simeon II . "

"Simeon is a natural Orthodox tsar. Unlike representatives of other dynasties, he is a legitimate monarch, not personally stained in any crimes. It is very important that he belongs to our brotherly Bulgarian people, of the same faith with us. Therefore, his calling to throne, and ideally, the establishment of a personal union between Bulgaria and Russia could be a step towards the restoration of the Orthodox Empire, the Third Rome... Naturally, the capital of the new king should be in Sofia (before being transferred to Constantinople), and Putin should be his viceroy in Moscow . This option is able to solve all the political problems of Russia" .
