Academy under the President

Dear editors!

In Russia, the midst of the vacation season, it would seem, can calm down and indulge in the care of the country or rest in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea. But one consideration does not give me rest: August is approaching - according to tradition, a month rich in various kinds of unpleasant events. Either the putsch will occur, the default, then the gangs in Dagestan will invade, then the submarine will drown, then the Ostankino tower will burn ... And it is clear why this is happening: in August the commanding forces are weakened by the vacation season, the control over the situation is somewhat weakened and, as a result, the malfunctions begin. And this is probably not only my opinion: the speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin recently expressed the opinion that the deputies should be reduced to a minimum due to the Labor Code - up to 28 days. He advised taking an example from the president, who is always at work, and said that politicians have no vacation.

It is no coincidence that the question arose right now: you yourself understand that the time is now a particularly tense, tough hand of power on the pulse is required more than ever. But even 28 days is almost a month, so this proposal will not solve the problem of Augustus. And so, sitting in the heat in the shade in the country and drinking vodka tea, I think that the rapidly impending August is preparing us. Will it happen that the Ukrainian nationalists armed with modern Western weapons will happen to the south of Ukraine in the south of Ukraine and will be able to knock ours out of Kherson?

I would like to believe that it will not happen, but physical geography is not on our side: the Dnieper is separated from the main Russian forces ... On the other hand, not everything is so bad: unlike the end of the 19th century, Russia now has not two, but three allies-the army, the fleet and airborne forces. So there is a hope that we will stop the aggressor at the Dnieper line.

However, this July evening I am worried about thoughts not only about the situation on the fronts of a special operation. Another thought gnaws at me regarding what is happening at the Academy under the President of Russia. No, no, don't think, I'm not talking about wounds. Everything is fine there, there is an ordinary election process, I hope, under the strict leadership of the presidential administration. I'm talking about another organization - RANEPA.

And it’s not very good with her: the detention of the leadership continues. If you remember, colleagues - and forget about this in a swift stream of events is no wonder - last year the former deputy minister of education Marina Rakova was detained. Charges of fraud were brought against her and a number of persons: they say that Rakov and her accomplice entered into a criminal conspiracy with the director of the Institute of Public Sciences of the RANEPA Sergey Zuev, organizing the conclusion of fictitious labor contracts between the RANEPA and 12 employees of the Ministry of Education. It was talked about the damage of 20 million rubles. At the end of June, the rector of the RANEPA Vladimir Mau, a very famous and authoritative man, was detained in this case. And more recently, in the framework of the same case, the vice -rector of RANEPAS Ivan Fedotov was detained.

Now let's think. What is a RANEPA? This, in fact, is the forge of personnel for the state apparatus, an organization that is engaged in the training and retraining of specialists of the highest managerial level. Remember, all sorts of courses of future governors there? This all goes just through the Presidential Academy. And if at the university all the time delay someone from the leadership, how can he continue his responsible work normally? The leadership employees are trembling and think who will be the following. In fact, this criminal case goes to the detriment of a very important activity for the training of leading personnel. In addition, the Academy, you yourself remember, with whom, and the shadow lies not only on the academy ...

And let's pay attention to the amount of damage: 20 million rubles. Yes, one Vladimir Mau officially receives much more income annually! Generally speaking, he and his accomplices could compensate the state for damage and in the future they could atone for the mistake made by hard work in their responsible posts. Do not rush to resent, colleagues, think calmly. What signal sends this case to the rector, deputy minister, other guidelines? Here you work, adhere to a patriotic position, fully support the actions of the country's leadership, sign the right letters like Mau, and, despite this, you can come at one far from great moment because of some, in fact, small things. But you are a responsible worker, under you flow billion streams of budget funds! And what if he gave a slack somewhere, a hand, so to speak, trembled? There will be no accounting for past merits and the right position?

This, in my opinion, is the main danger of the case of the Presidential Academy, and not the breakdown of the educational process: if you think about it, here you can see an attempt to drive a wedge between the country's leadership and the managerial elite. It remains to ask a rhetorical question: in whose interests it is free or involuntarily - but is done, comrades?
