Snake from the bag

And now, dear readers of the Hedgehog, I want to complete my little triptych.

Two articles - about the “unmeas referendum” and the “king of bribe takers” - agree that they gravitate to each other. Right?

Right. And there is something disliked and - dangerous in them.

I'll try to give it. Take it off, as they say, a snake from the bag. Actually, this is already-in a more pathos-romantic, if you like, an apocalyptic vein-recently Andrei Illarionov made.

So. The next version is easily built. The version of the project "Dictator Elections". “Elections to the Duma”, “referendum on Putin’s plan” is a lie. But in them there is a hint.

A hint, for which the Monteres exhausted by Narzan are dragged. The question is simple as the truth: “Are you for Russia-or are you crawling?!” Attempts to “clarify concepts” are the second answer.

There is a scene in one novel. A certain Soviet official, Russian by nationality, in 1937 ended up in the apartment of Ordzhonikidze. Stalin went there. He argued with Ordzhonikidze. Very soon, the dispute became furious, aggressive, with threats and cries. The piquancy of the situation was that both-so that they did not understand the random witness-cursed in Georgian.

And after the dispute, Stalin asks this official: “With whom do you agree in this dispute, comrade Ivanov-Petrov? " He replies: “I do not understand in Georgian and I don’t know what the dispute was about, Comrade. Stalin ". Without hearing his answer, Stalin repeats: “So with whom do you agree, Comrade. Ivanov-Petrov? " And he receives: “With you, Comrade. Stalin ".

Here you have a referendum, not, dear comrades hedgehogs and others ...

What is the meaning of a referendum without a question?

But the fact that people answer “Vaesche”: “Putin - we believe! We hope and love ... ”We vote for“ x ”, instead of which the winners can substitute any size, any“ Russian victory plan ... over someone/anything ”.

Conceived, therefore, a carte blanche for any political actions (and how to insert them into the frame of the law is a matter of technology).

And above all, the mandate for power, not limited by any formal post. And such power is called - dictatorship. Personal. And corporate - standing behind this person. And what is the name of the “corporate dictatorship”, I will not even pronounce - I do not want to deprive readers to make the joy of making this discovery.

Actually, they are already talking about this. Often with historical examples-Ivan the Terrible, who put some kind of “king” over the “zemstvos”, and he himself ruled with the help of an oprichnina.

And they have already managed to write novels about this. Sorokin - "oprichnik".

The most entertaining thing is that Putin's supporters say so. For example, recently in Izvestia in one - more than approving at Putin’s address - the article explicitly said that he (Putin) will be the “senior king”, and the formally elected president “Junior Tsar”. Here you have a grandmother and Yuryev day ... "The day of December 2 is a red day of the calendar."

And the political science analysis jumps with impatience, whines, “And I, and I ...”: “Everywhere it was ... the transition from the monarchy to immature democracy led to the dictatorship ... Horthy, for example ... or here Pilsudsky ... not to mention the more, so to speak, personalities ... what is there - here is Lukashenko, let's say ... Yes, everywhere in the post -Soviet space, except for the Age. And Ukraine ... and Georgia ... "

The imitation of the Cold War, and a preventive friendship with all world scumbags, fit into this scenario.

So. Version: from a referendum - to dictatorship.

Well, if he seriously believed in this, then, of course, he would not write - hold your pocket! If I seriously believed in this, I would have stopped writing in general, but I would have dumped from here to Eraren-Fen, while it is still easy.

Why don't I believe in this version?

Yes - all over!

They will not dig a hole for their own
First. The dictatorship involves the dictator. Putin, of course, is “young and healthy”, but, sorry, not the same! At the age of 55, after 8 years of unlimited power to commit, in fact, a coup d'etat - to turn the throne under it. Interesting. And - why, let me ask?

Simply put. Putin has a complete opportunity to quite legitimately change the constitution and stay for the third or twenty-third term by the president. No! "I do not want to be a free queen - I want to be the mistress of the sea!" Not a formal president (with endless powers) - and not related by any law leader of the nation!

Looks like Putin’s neat letter?!

He - as the president - protects (and does not limit it!) Of the Kremlin wall of laws. No! I will go out from behind this wall in a completely clear field of complete arbitrariness ... I do not want to be a legal king-president-I will be a free nightingur, a Stenka Razin with Princess Russia.

Poured Putin, right?!

Second. Yes, sir, it does not look like our Putin ... But this may not be done under Putin, but for another dictator ...

Ba! This is under whom? Where is he, handsome?! "So spend, spend me to him - I want to see this person!" The leader of the nation, not led by this nation ... a strong move.

Third. And most importantly.

The king’s king is a peasant king ...

“People will always be a stupid victim of deception until they learn by any words and slogans, find the interests of specific classes” (Ulyanov - Lenin). I quote from memory, but for the meaning - I vouch.

So in whose interests the breakdown of laws and the establishment by a kind of “corporate dictatorship”?

NOMENCLATURE. The revived oil-gap nomenclature collected in a single party in Russia. Their move means in their interests.

In their interests?!

They only need one thing that they directly talk about, shout at all corners. And then they tell the holy truth. They need to preserve the existing order of things, maintaining stability. The oil and gas paradise is stable - for that he and paradise. And now they will go, in fact, to a coup d'etat, the rejection of “formal” laws, the installation of themselves, over the country of a dictator based on a direct mandate of 100,000,000 people?!

Mikhalkov, lowering the Maybakhov window, will be called to the masses? And why are they shouting to them (the masses)? “Choose a national leader to guard our wealth/privileges from you”? Honestly-but they will not understand, Asia-s ...

So then so. Aloud: we will elect a national leader standing over the existing system - for the sake of ... (in a whisper) preservation of the existing system! N-yes ... complicated dialectics.

The dictatorships build active “unsatisfied stomach” groups that are either outside the system (Bolsheviks) or on the periphery of the system (Nazis). Sometimes, at the time of the extreme crisis of the system, they can close with part of the ruling elite (as it was in Germany in 1933).

But so that the ruling bureaucratic group itself “from above - down” go to the system of the system?! Yes, they have a problem - dollar obesity. And what? They will treat him - putting a bayonet in the belly?!

And the dictatorship is precisely the "bayonet in the belly." It begins with restoring order. And here the “struggle against the West” will not work. The struggle with the ghosts of the oligarchs will not work. The dictatorship is not a TV show. There are already actions. Actions against those whom the people really do not tolerate - against the ruling bureaucracy, against corruption.

Compare not how the “democratic opposition” lives in Belarus and Russia, but how the nomenclature lives in Belarus and Russia! Do you need a Russian nomenclature of the Belarusian version?!

And you can’t buy a dictatorship cheaper.

The dictatorship in Russia is impossible in the option "softly, nice, without interrupting TV-sne." It won't work! Here the bureaucracy will have to "go to the masses." What to leave? Nationalism. Ethics. Egalitarism. In general, a kind of “National Bolshevism” (not to be confused with the party of the same name!). Do you need this nomenclature?

I’m not talking about such trifles as time, the era ... During the time of Khort-Pilsudsky-Salazar, Europe was pregnant with dictatorships. (And this fashion came from Lenin, from Russia.) Now “this is no longer worn”, and Russia, its elite, will not go against the world fashion, will not create a new fashion, there are no “tailor Ulyanovs” now ... As for the Eastern CIS countries - they have their own, not at all Russian traditions.

But we already have an imitation of "dictatorship". The costume is 14 years old, since 1993, they are adjusted to the customer-and finally fitted. The degree of freedom/lack of freedom, openness/closure is ideal for the ruling nomenclature ... of the period of fat oilcores.

I note, by the way, that “moderately-stupid liberals” can live in the folds of this costume-such as me, say. Moreover. In the folds of this costume, even civil society can develop. Proof? Please - see how people were indignant at the Mikhalkov Kholovy, how they openly opposed them. And they performed - fortunately! - Not at all heroes. So - not scary. This speaks of some (albeit mocking-shallow) degree of political freedom ...

Morality. Read Sorokina less - especially at night.

With this nomenclature, there will be no dictatorship. Only through their corpse. And they do not want to become corpses. Although I was not Putin's adviser, Illarionov was, but, in my opinion, the psychology of the ruling class I understand better than him.

The snake will remain in the bag.

Post -Scriptum: Indecision
And the last.

But for some reason, “all this” is done! Not in a dream!

Not in a dream. Exactly.

Only - what is being done?

So far, only one thing is visible - Putin's indecision. His fluctuations. He dispersed the car of his popularity as he could with the words “now I’ll jump ... Well, now - I’ll just add speed! ..”

Strange behavior? Very. "The main thing in the profession of the saint is to wash off in time." This does not apply to the profession of the President-he has a term of stay in office. But the thing is that Putin occupies an intermediate position between these two specialties.

One of the elements of this indecision was the “quasi”: “so far” to enter the list of “EP” ... at least some “event”-and there we will see.

As for the nomenclature, it, firstly, is mechanically subordinate, secondly, he does this, imitating “administrative delight”, and thirdly, trying to fuck some of her benefits.

Is Putin popular? Yes. Putin can guarantee stability? Yes. Does Putin leave? Likely.

What to do? Separate the Putin brand from a specific “oscillating body” and, using this brand, to fix the status quo at the “referendum”. Let them vote “for the name of Putin”-and, clinging to his name, we will calmly preserve this very status quo.

There are, of course, a lot of dangers. The main one is obvious - the possibility of dual power, the appearance next to the vertical of a popular figure with indefinite rights. Next to the vertical, the grain or a mine - or a “civil society, or the“ dictatorship ”.

There is such a problem.

But, apparently, the ruling nomenclature is going to solve problems as they arrive.
