Yeltsin's ex-son-in-law Dyachenko: a native of Siberia may become the president of Russia in the future 
, Russia may be headed by a native of Siberia or the Far East. This forecast about the next head of state was given by the former son-in-law of the first president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, Alexei Dyachenko, in his book From Yeltsin to Putin. And vice versa “, excerpts from which are quoted by the radio station” Echo of Moscow “.
According to Dyachenko, trying to accurately calculate the new leader and his team is useless, however, since” most often brigades in Russia have a compatriot base ” assume that the new president will not be from St. Petersburg or Yekaterinburg, and also not from the Caucasus and not from Ukraine.
“There have already been rulers of these places over the past 100 years. Now it is probably the turn of Siberia and the Far East. Or for the first time – a Muscovite, “Yeltsin's ex-son-in-law explained.
In May, Dyachenko named the reason why the current head of the country, Vladimir Putin, came to power. “Yeltsin saw his successor as a young man who does not carry the burden of past mistakes, obligations and grievances. He wanted someone to come who starts with a clean slate. Yeltsin himself loved this clean sheet, “said the former son-in-law of the first president of Russia.
The current President of Russia Vladimir Putin, like Dmitry Medvedev, who held this post from 2008 to 2012, are from St. Petersburg. Boris Yeltsin was born in the village of Butka, Ural Region (existed in 1923-1934, after which it was divided into three regions – approx. “Lenta.ru” ).
Next presidential elections Russia will be held in 2024. Vladimir Putin has not yet announced whether he intends to run again for the presidency.
