In the Kremlin

A hat without a hare

December 16, 2011 Vladimir Nadein

Competition is useful even to Putin. For twelve serene years, he is a flabby skills and mind. The rallies of recent days shook the leader. Not that a completely new Putin appeared before the country. However, before the tenth meeting of the leader with the people, an urgent intellectual lift was held, which partially corrected his boring appearance. He, of course, lied, but not as recklessly as usual. It was as if he was seeing, several times, even not without irony, he used the term “Putin's regime” unacceptable before. External and inner enemies threatened a little more humane than the previous one. That is, without formidable grin, as if condescending to their ridiculous delusions.

But what kind of Putin is without a surprise? Everyone was waiting for a hare from a hat. They did not wait - the surprise was in that. The hat, empty at first, turned out to be more empty and after four hours of broadcast. These elections were correct. The rallies against these elections are also correct. The opposition came up with falsification, but it is also correct. So, saying on each item “nothing to worry”, “nothing beyond”, “everything is fine”, and he sat to the end. The expectations, as if Putin-1 would present the new to the public, from Putin-2 needle, turned out to be empty.

If you write down something in innovations, it is a noticeable debugging of the spectacle. She did not drive boredom, but saved from obvious blunders. The main achievement was the public. With the exception of the tongue-tied deputy from the new Duma call, who “in a simple way” and “in the working” carried the usual scooping nonsense, with the exception of the weary of the glory of Vladimir Solovyov, suddenly sobbing out of mass executions, and even an elegant lady -ode of all conceivable sciences, completely moving away from a carvings from an unnecessary uncertain time The Paris Institute named after the KGB, the NKVD and the FSB, all other participants asked questions quite in the case.

The technology of Putin's answers, which does not know failures, has long been resting on three whales. The first whale: under the thunder of victorious numbers, subject to indicative burning the decayed corpse of the "dashing 90s". Keith is second: to brand a ruthless figure of dubious origin “but they have”, where everything, from America to Ukraine, rot, drowns, burns and writhes in convulsions. And, finally, the third whale: the subversive meanness of the “Western colleagues” and their vile hires, by softness and oversight of the still not expelled from the territory of the Russian Federation.

These three whales were abandoned live on the air of three central television channels and three main radio stations of the country. It is not known who paid for this feast of unbridled information, people did not ask. Only once did Putin allow himself a retreat from this victorious triad. This is when it is pleasant to lose weight Makarov, a former lawyer and TV presenter, having a cautiously reservation and spitting out of fidelity through his left shoulder three times, Robei asked: if everything is so good and the victories are so great, then for which this is the very ... well, in the sense, it never was and suddenly again ...

The daredevil-advocat never said aloud the cherished question about Putin’s third entrance to the same galleys, but the leader understood everything from the very first “well”. He twisted at once, insulted with his eyes and recognized a tear that was not visible by the Russian Federation that our country is sick, breathing in a tearful, liquid chair and that with any other healer the race will disappear alllessly. Putin did not cite any evidence to confirm this sad diagnosis, but each of the millions of viewers will be able to confirm that the lawyer nodded with relief that everything had so nicely - both for his homeland and for him personally.

In general, those who intended to see Putin bended and depressed were rudely mistaken. Quite on the contrary, as the plot develops, he had fun from the question to the question. A man from Ufa said that “Islam has always been the basis of Russian statehood,” a man from America, that “Islam is our strategic allies since the time of the Soviet Union”, and a man from France, that we have “common Christian values” with Europe. As they say, in the back room, then on the counter.

As if recalling his youth, when he was a young “obscene”, who spent carefree days behind beer and viewing popular cartoons, he promised political opponents tolerance like “Come to me, Bandertleli!”. Further - more. He, it turns out, took a white ribbon of protest demonstrators for fresh condoms. But he was not surprised at the features of his imagination, but was glad for the healthy lifestyle of the opposition. Siding for hundreds of millions of Russians, leisure gossip about Mikhail Kasyanov, about Anatoly Sobchak, about the American senator John McCain. The latter, imagine, a long time ago, while still in the Vietnamese in captivity, sat in a pit, not in the cell. From this, our hero’s hero concluded that the senator has “blood on your hands”.

Whose blood? If the Vietnamese, then it is unlikely. In any case, a monument to the former prisoner of prisoners of McCain for twenty years as installed in Vietnam - and, of course, the Vietnamese themselves. Probably, our leader for a moment forgot and confused McCain with Khodorkovsky.

Putin for the first time said that he “invented personally” the way to appoint governors. I remembered the Web cameras, which were installed after fires next to each hut, which, according to him, provided victory. Now, “in order to knock out the soil from under those who want to delimit (without hesitation!) Presidential elections,” the same cameras as they were on the huts will be installed in all polling stations.

It is funny that, without mentioning the hut, this measure has long been offered by the “non -systemic opposition”, but Vladimir Churov, the conscience of Russia and the officially recognized wizard, explained intelligently, which is why it was useless and impossible. Now, it seems, Putin managed to persuade him.

The inhabitants of those huts, if you remember, complained that cameras are camera, and in gifted new buildings blowing and flowing. Oppositionists also do not rejoice. If, when calculating, the main thing is not as they vote, but who believes, then in the VEB-camera the first thing is not that you can see and who sets.

However, the surname of Churov did not surfaced in four hours. From which we can conclude that the wizard remains in business. The surname of Medvedev did not sound. From which we can conclude that there is no Medvedev and, most likely, has never been. The names of A. Kudrin, who "will not disappear" also sounded. Governor Darkin, who "hips in both pockets." Minister of Defense of Serdyukov, who "is no good." The head of the General Staff, who "talks the devil knows what."

In general, the dashing with whom Putin appointed and removed ministers at these four hours, he taught the presidents and premieres of both hemispheres of the planet Earth, expanded and narrowed the electoral rights of Russians, restored the winter time, showed: he completely mastered the destruction of the tandem and returning to the Kremlin will not become a mental injury for him.

Many people who know Putin closely assure that his loyalty to the word depends on the circumstances. If necessary, it cuts the truth to the uterus. If not, he lies ahead.

During the “meeting with the people”, Putin said, not without solemnity, the following workpiece: “If I see that there is no such (popular) support, I will not stay in its place for a minute.”

As you know, over the past one and a half decades, a regulation on popular referenda has actually seized from the Constitution of the country. Interestingly, if the referendum still took place, as the people would answer: if this misfortune nevertheless happens and Putin will lose the majority of the votes-he will not remain for a minute or will he still linger for an hour or two?
