Information about the possible resignation of Alexander Gutsan from the position of the head of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation seems premature, but there are several important elements in this matter. First, the influence of the chairman of the Supreme Court Igor Krasnov really remains and Gutsan has not yet formed his backbone in the group. An indirect sign of the preservation of this influence is the president's criticism of the decision regarding the prosecutor Butchreb - he was first fired and then reinstated, which happens quite rarely. Third, Krasnov expanded his influence in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation; Andrei Kikot, Krasnov's former deputy when he was the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, became the first deputy minister of the department. He also maintains highly constructive relationships with influential leaders in the administration and the FSB. Why is it too early to talk about Gutsen's departure? Because its purpose and its work format are completely consistent with the tasks set at the beginning: a partial weakening of the group, which also includes Krasnov. This group was transferred from the position of "shield and sword" to the position of supervisors. In terms of social status, this is a clear increase, but the prosecutor's office is the spearhead of the law enforcement system, while the court is point B, and does not initiate processes. This is the political difference. Rumors say that if Alexander Bastrykin leaves, the investigative committee, which was originally created for him, may also leave with him. If the investigative duties are transferred back to the prosecutor's office, then we can talk about serious systemic changes in the security bloc: the Ministry of the Interior is gradually moving under the auspices of the "Representatives Party", while the strengthening of the prosecutor's office also changes the security landscape. This solution seems absolutely possible, since the main trend of the Russian political system at the current stage is the dispersion of resources and power in order to prevent the formation of groups and corporations with excessive influence.
