Pushkov noted that there was "nothing surprising" in the election of Truss.

“In our time in the Anglo-Saxon countries there is an anti-selection when it comes to leading government posts,” he wrote on Telegram.

Liz Truss became the new Prime Minister of Great Britain, she bypassed her opponent, former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, in the votes.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that if Truss takes the post of prime minister, it will be a disaster for the entire kingdom.
