The results of the week. It sprinkled ...

Money in the country suddenly ended, the house was from straw. The wolf did not even have to blow on him. He simply took out two or three ships from the base and disappeared in an unknown direction, somewhere beyond the jurisdiction of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

Today, of course, everyone is interested in what will happen next. The Minister of Finance Kudrin assures that everything will be fine, says that there are nothing to worry about ordinary citizens. (Honestly, this phrase touches me-“ordinary citizens.” I would like to ask Alexei Kudrin: and a little more difficult citizens have nothing to worry about?) In a word, I think it would be better if he was silent. After all, what does the average Russian citizen do when he hears from the Minister of Finance, that everything will be fine? That's right - he runs to the ATM withdraw his money ... By the way, why only his own? Today, many have credit cards in their hands, they were sent even by mail. It is clear that all the cunning will drive everything out of the cards. Ah, in your bank loans at 30 percent per annum? Do you hold on to, dear for a week? And then let the external manager write angry letters and calls on the phone. And when will the turn reach ordinary citizens? Bankrot banks will probably have creditors and larger.

It seems to me that today the main trouble is not in the financial crisis, but in a crisis of trust. No one believes anyone. The Central Bank does not believe the banks, suspecting (and, it is necessary to think fairly) that they hide assets, banks do not believe the borrowers and have already run to the courts, banks do not believe each other and actually suspended mutual lending, ordinary citizens are very nervous and frozen in a low start position. They also do not believe anyone, but so far they are at a loss. We have been talked about for so many years about financial stability, about the irreversibility of the ruble, about the doubling of GDP and about the stabund of such sizes that any storm will seem like a light pitch. Speaking of a stabilization fund. Over the only Wednesday, the Central Bank to maintain the financial market spent about $ 80 billion, showing them out for three largest banks - Sberbank, VTB and Gazprombank. (The latter, by the way, belongs, to a certain master - I can’t remember the last name in any way - about whom they said that he was a friend of one very high -ranking dignitary.) Everyone considered how many days there was enough stab fund?

It can be assumed that ordinary citizens (well, or very ordinary citizens) still believe Putin. True, the Kremlin propagandists themselves will consider the setting of such a question sunk. Putin does not have to believe, Putin must be loved, but the prime minister is in no hurry to speak out on burning issues. And it’s clear why.

Of course, as they say, "life presents its surprises." The plot of the development of relations in the tandem of Putin-Medvedev changes before our eyes. Remember, at the dawn of Dmitry Anatolyevich’s accession to someone else's throne, many analysts fell on the opinion that it was not for long. That Vladimir Vladimirovich in no case will allow the successor to live his chair, make a political and hardware weight, get leadership ambitions. But the villain-sow, it seems, disposed of in her own way. It seems that the limit of luck that was so generously and recklessly allocated to the Russian government is exhausted today. First, a confrontation with the entire civilized world as a result of a small victorious war, and now also a financial and economic crisis of such a scale that the edges are not yet visible. And what, in this situation, Putin will rush to the return of power? Something I really doubt. He, in my opinion, is time, formally without refusing the premiere powers, to go on academic leave. Let the country understand that it is impossible to violate the sacred course of events for the sake of some procedures and laws there. Didn't want to listen to their own heart? Didn't want a third term? Get it.

But what about our young friend? It seems that he, like the rest, completely ordinary citizens, is still in euphoria from a brilliant Caucasian campaign. Perhaps he has not yet been informed about the financial problems of the country. Well, so as not to upset. While Medvedev directly bursts from a sense of his own greatness and his own importance: he was the SAC GORYANICH - Saakashvili drove over Gori, joined Russia as much as two territories (one even with a piece of the sea) and managed to quarrel with the whole world, having revived their own dignity and victorious spirit. Here many will object to me that Putin revived all this after the Second Chechen War, well, many years have already passed. And then the internal war on the spiritual lift in any comparison with the external does not go. The war with Georgia, of course, is cooler. But soon the euphoria will pass and the hangover will come. And Dmitry Anatolyevich will understand that fate, along with Vladimir Vladimirovich, played an angry joke with him, that he was left extreme, and that at some point, it was scary to say, for example, to ordinary citizens. Although Medvedev is unlikely to seriously believe in this prospect. But here little depends on him. It all depends on citizens. Simple and not very simple - different.
