Sobchak: I am not a Kremlin project
Ksenia Sobchak, in an interview with The Guardian newspaper , called the rumors that she is a Kremlin project a conspiracy aimed at discrediting her.
“The authorities decided to strangle me with association with themselves - this is a very smart tactic,” said the TV presenter.
Sobchak stated that no political party supports her. “I have no political weight, and I have not earned the right to launch any political program or be nominated as a candidate,” the TV presenter said. Sobchak also called the 2018 election dishonest: “If your hands are tied, you must swim with your feet. If your feet are tied, you should try to catch the edge of the boat with your teeth. We must use every opportunity,” said the TV journalist.
Ksenia Sobchak announced that she is running for president of Russia on October 18. The TV presenter positions herself as an analogue of the line "against all." Sobchak has yet to name his chief of staff. In the near future, the TV presenter intends to devote all her attention to collecting signatures for the presidential nomination.
