Dilemma, damn it

This undoubtedly deserves respect when an expert or analyst, or expert analyst in a situation of the highest emotional intensity, without concentrating on trifles, such as the killings of individual human rights defenders, rejecting the ethical and even legal aspects of the villainous crime, is able to look at the problem from the height of the state approach. In fact, the author, having identified himself with the main Russian boss, decided to conduct a dangerous and risky experiment on himself. And at the same time, he proposed to participate in it to all readers of the Hedgehog.

“I am Putin,” says Leonid Radzikhovsky, “and Bastrykin reports to me that Ramzan Kadyrov was involved in the murder of Natalia Estemirova. And what should I do?! I can’t take it off - followed by tens of thousands of personal guards. To remove - means to untie the next Caucasian war. (Note that, apparently, for considerations of political correctness, the option of pre -trial arrest is not even considered - A.R.) . But to leave, it means, to authorize further crimes! Dilemma, damn it! "

Here, of course, Putin-Radzikhovsky would like to somehow sympathize, facilitate his (their) moral suffering. I want, but for some reason it doesn’t work out. Well, so I can't do it.

I do not know how far Leonid Radzikhovsky went in the implementation of this amazing experiment. Did he turn to the help of psychics and hypnotizers, or was it enough for him to cover his eyes only for a moment? Did he fall into a lethargic sleep or meditating? But I know something else - it is impossible to start getting used to the image directly from this particular episode. For the purity of the experiment, for the authenticity of the result, you must try to imagine yourself as a much earlier Putin. I’m not sure that it was necessary to start from the Berlin “bookmarks”, the cooperative “Lake”, and the work of Sobchak. But without Yeltsin, without Berezovsky with Voloshin, without the “Second Chechen War”, without the “Khodorkovsky case”, without a submarine of Kursk, without Beslan, without a Nord-Ost, without the sale of Sibneft, Gazprom is definitely possible to do. I would like to believe that Leonid Radzikhovsky, along with his hero and along the traces of his hero, went all this path. And then, having committed this truly civilian feat, Leonid will actually be able to predict Putin’s reaction to almost any events in the near future, not only to the murder of human rights defenders by his closest associates. And in this new, to some extent shamanistic quality to provide an invaluable service to all our Fatherland as a whole and its separate best representatives. For example, Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev.

PS

Despite the desperate appeal of Leonid Radzikhovsky to follow his example, I will still take the courage to warn the readers of the Hedgehog. Let's remember that not everyone is born as users, capable of sacrifice in the name of a common cause, in the name of democratization and liberalization of our homeland. In other words, do not imagine yourself as Putin! This may be dangerous to health! Yes, and just disgusting ...

However, one person already took advantage of the advice of Leonid Radzikhovsky and imagined that he was Putin. This is Dmitry Medvedev, who in Munich stated that the version of Ramzan Kadyrov’s involvement in the murder of Natalia Estemirova “unacceptable for us”! Divine, I will tell you, the wording for our jurist, who has not served in the organs. Of course, this statement can in no case be considered as pressure on the investigation! On the contrary, this is help to the investigation. Investigators now know exactly which version is not worth considering, which, of course, saves them a lot of time ... What, it seems, this guy has already entered the image very reliably and tight.
