Mysterious Fate Of Russia's Three 'Princes': Only One Is Alive

Sechin's son died under strange circumstances - a blood clot broke off.

They were the "three princes" of Putin's Russia with a huge future, three brilliant sons of Putin's closest friends - Ivanov, Sechin, and Patrushev.

But, ten years ago, in 2014, at the age of 38, Aleksandr Ivanov, the son of President Putin's powerful chief of staff, died unexpectedly (drowned on the beach) in the UAE. Ivanov's father was shocked by his son's mysterious death and was no longer involved in politics.

On February 20, 2024, the "second prince" - Ivan Sechin, son of Igor Sechin, head of Rosneft, multi-billionaire, powerful and long-time friend of President Putin, died unexpectedly in Moscow at the age of 35. Sechin's son died under strange circumstances - a blood clot broke off. A familiar diagnosis for a murder cover-up in Putin's Russia.

After the death of his favourite son, ambitious Ivanov stopped claiming more power and fell into a deep depression. Probably, after the death of his 35 year old only son, powerful Sechin will also not enjoy his enormous power under Putin and his hard-earned billions of dollars.

Only Dmitry Patrushev, the third prince of Putin's Russia, is still alive. He is the son of Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council, a close friend of Putin and a supporter of Putin's successor policy as a form of peaceful political transit for Russia. Naturally, Nikolai Patrushev sees his son Dmitry Patrushev as Putin's successor.

If he also suffers a blood clot or a plane crash (Wagner's revenge), the very idea of a successor in Putin's entourage will lose its appeal because of the high danger to the contenders. Therefore, Putin and his entourage will have to return to the idea of creating a collective body of power - like the Politburo, because it is clear to everyone that after Putin no one from his entourage must have absolute power.
