Her future is a tale as old as time in Russia and the Soviet Union, and more broadly, any autocratic regime: competency is a danger. You advance in an autocratic system by being a yes man or woman. You suffer when your knowledge on a topic gets you in trouble, when the truth of the matter conflicts with the autocrat's will. Does the autocrat's will bend to your knowledge? No, you are made an example of.
