    You guys are thinking about Putin like he’s a politician, but he behaves like a mafiosi. For mafia loyalty is the most important quality. That’s why appointing a bodyguard to oversee something important makes sense to Putin.

      Bang on. You don’t make someone your bodyguard without trusting them, so this guy is a good pick from the perspective of maintaining power as an autocrat.
