Putin's angry hawk

One of the main initiators of the attack on Ukraine - in addition to Sergei Szojgu, General Walery Gierasimov and Dimitri Medvedev - is considered to be the secretary of the safety Council of the Russian Federation Nikolay Patrushev. In an interview given to the Ukrainian portal gordon.ua it is referred to as "an angry hawk" as a retired colonel Vladimir Popow of the erstwhile 5th KGB Division (now surviving in Canada). Patrushev fits perfectly into the strategy of leadership and management in Russia, which Putin created, based on officers of the erstwhile KGB and the current FSB. Prof. Mark Galeotti besides stated in an interview with the Moscow Times that Patruszew is "a hawk of all hawks" in politics. He had previously described him as "the most dangerous man in Russia" , who draws Putin into increasingly utmost actions, and himself is simply a typical of the highly nationalist wing of the Russian safety apparatus.
