Of course, on an extremely smaller scale and in extremely ridiculous circumstances, the same scenario cannot be ruled out in Albania either. In ten years of power, Edi Rama has succeeded in destroying all the foundations of a democratic system...
The mutiny of the Wagner troops who tried to march on Moscow while keeping the most important chancelleries of the globe in suspense is the best illustration that dictatorships can be shaken by self-created Frankensteins. In all respects Yevgeny Prigozhin was a product of the Russian Tsar. The former sentenced to prison for 9 years, known by the nickname "Putin's cook", had a rapid rise at the beginning of the new century, waiting in his restaurant, along with the Russian president, George Bush or Jacques Chirac. He served the Kremlin boss for a long time, both with troll factories that spread fake news to destabilize Western democracies, and with Wagner's mercenaries, not only in Ukraine, but also in Syria, Mali or elsewhere. with the money
But, just like it happens with all those who have banditry in their blood, that's why they can't behave like the usual bowed-down apparatchiks of dictatorships, after years of service Yevgeny Prigozhin also rebelled. He announced that he would march towards Moscow with his 35,000 troops to liberate the Russian people, accusing the military leaders of using the war in Ukraine for personal gain. Of course, the chronicle showed that he was withdrawn, at least temporarily, thanks to a negotiation by the Belarusian president, Lukashenko.
But both the fear shown by the Kremlin regime in the hours of the march towards Moscow, as well as the shameful conditions of peace, show that Putin was very weak, compared to the sample that was born from his bosom. He withdrew all criminal charges of treason against Yevgeny Prigozhin, amnestied all his fighters, only to quell the rebellion. It is seemingly paradoxical for a dictatorship, in a position of strength, to make a pact with those who challenged it at the heart of its power.
But there are times when this happens. In regimes where political parties play only the role of the facade, where the media and justice are under the yoke, where the opposition is fought, escalated and crumbled, the danger can only come from parallel systems that are nourished and grow occultly within the personal power of the leader. The facts showed that Putin feared a rich and armed thug like Yevgeny Prigozhin more than Navalny's puritanical asceticism and scathing denunciations.
Of course, on an extremely smaller scale and in extremely ridiculous circumstances, the same scenario cannot be ruled out in Albania either. In ten years of power, Edi Rama has managed to destroy all the foundations of a democratic system. He has built a personal power based on the oligarchs with whom he exchanges financial favors, controls politics and the media, and on the underworld that "tolerates" him in exchange for the role he plays in the elections. But however submissive these renaissance allies may seem today, just as Yevgeny Prigozhin seemed to Putin, they have amassed so much power, money or underground connections that they can become a threat to the personal power of one. Some of them today have legal and media immunity as great as Rama himself.
And in conditions where most people have been subjugated, when civil society has atrophied, when the opposition has been massacred, a coup within the palace of evil is not impossible. When democracy turns into a facade and when the balancing magic it guarantees is destroyed, it is not excluded that overthrows occur from the rivalry between the gangs. Just like Putin's system, Edi Rama's is also in the stage of producing its own frankensteins. Therefore, in addition to curiosity, what happened in Russia should arouse our curiosity as a possible scenario for what might be waiting for us.
