You are giving him too much credit too early. If Putin’s close associate, the hard‑line strategist and former FSB officer VladislavSurkov (born Aslambek Andarbekovich Dudayev, sometimes spelled Dudaev) was indeed in Hungary as a freelance adviser to Orbán, as some media reports claim, he will not be able to avoid legal scrutiny and public disgrace.
The leftist Putin groupies will applaud their hero involved in Hungarian politics.
