Mass media: Kremlin began hiding routes of Putin's trips around Russia after Prigozhin's mutiny

The Kremlin has begun to treat information about dictator Vladimir Putin 's movements in Russia more strictly. Even the course of the official travels of the head of the aggressor country is now concealed.

This was brought to the attention by the Telegram channel The Moscow Times. Citing anonymous sources, the channel said that fears of internal destabilization and a coup have increased after the mutiny of the head of the PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin on June 23-24.

According to one of the publication's interlocutors former Kremlin official, now "everyone is under suspicion" of the FSB.

On July 20, at his daily briefing, Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced that the Russian president would travel to one of the country's regions. He refused to say where exactly.

"For obvious reasons, we are not announcing regional trips right now, we are not telling ahead of time about places to visit. We will do it today during the day," the dictator's spokesman told reporters. No one knows what "understandable reasons" he meant if there is "no panic" in Russia and the "SMO" is "going according to plan."

Only six hours later it became known that Putin flew to Murmansk (for the first time since 2014). After the presidential plane landed in the city, Russia's Interfax wrote that "details of the program of the head of state's stay in the Murmansk region have not been disclosed."

The dictator's press service later reported about his visit to the Center for the construction of large-tonnage offshore structures. There, the Russian head launched a gas liquefaction line on a gravity platform for Novatek's Arctic LNG-2 project.

Putin also held a meeting on Arctic development in the Murmansk region's Regional Management Center, where he stated that there are "big problems" with infrastructure and housing.

We will add that Gadzhievo, a Northern Fleet basing point where ballistic missile submarines are stationed, is not far from Murmansk. It is not known whether Putin visited the military base.
