There is a feeling that last Wednesday, American journalist and big fan of Putin stories Tucker Carlson presented to his large audience of the new negotiator between Russia and the West. Tucker’s two-hour conversation with the once richest Russian businessman Andrei Melnichenko was enough to understand this.

Melnichenko, in Physics and Technology English, frankly admitted that he had nothing to do with the economic crimes of the dashing 90s (he was simply too young then. He has not been involved in the financial sector of the Russian Federation for a long time (sold MDM Bank for cosmic money 17 years ago). Sanctions on him in fact, he was imposed simply because he belongs to the class of rich people (and has never met with Putin one-on-one). He is a man who lost “a couple of billions” due to sanctions and at the same time supplies the world with 7% of fertilizers.

If we discard the side dish part of the interview about global warming and other cataclysms, then the bottom line of this conversation will be very thoughtful statements about the coming multipolar world, ways to de-escalate hostilities in Ukraine, Putin’s role in today’s Russia (he gave stability, and without him there will be chaos) and yes, compliments to the US authorities.

This was not just an interview between a rich man and an opposition journalist. Some topics were too global and painful. In too much detail, but at the same time accurately, Melnichenko predicted future world alignments, up to nuclear war, and criticized Europe, identifying two centers of power in a potential multipolar system: the United States and China.

It seems that in the world behind the scenes, Russia may begin a process of rotation of one figure to another. Roman Abramovich, once the Kremlin’s main informal negotiator, may be replaced by a more open and less toxic Melnichenko. Moreover, Roman Arkadyevich, it must be admitted, did not live up to the hopes placed on him. Moreover, both the Kremlin and the White House. From the status of chief negotiator on Ukraine, Roman Arkadyevich dropped to resolving issues on local exchanges of prisoners of war.

There is time to replace Krasny Roman with Mineral Andrey. After all, just the other day, Vladimir Putin declared that it was inadvisable to conduct negotiations before the end of the elections in the United States. Until that time, Melnichenko can calmly save the planet from global warming, and only then, if necessary, from nuclear winter.
