In the Kremlin

Rehearsal

October 5, 2010 Vladimir Nadein

Vladimir Putin treated Dmitry Medvedev with bread and milk, which he received as a gift from the organizers of the exhibition. There is a good news and the news is bad. It is good that milk was without polonium, and bread without a strontium. It is bad that both the prime minister treated the president for free.

They say about Putin that his soul is either forty billion dollars, or all a hundred. But even on his naked salary, he could buy the primary product without scratching. However, this is an assumption. The fact that I did not buy.

And the last time when the giants of the authorities drank beer somewhere on a peaceful arrow, it remained unclear which of them put to whom. And this is the key to the basics of high policy. In normal democracies, which we call Western, stable standards are worked out to drink and eat. It doesn’t matter where the boss is: who calls on the lunch, he pays for lunch.

Sovereign democracy went its own way. The clearing is covered by the one who depends. The one on whom they depend, even for the species does not stretch behind the wallet. He only burps at the end of the feast - pretty and dumped.

The freebie confuses us all the political maps. Although many observers together spoke about the new world between Medvedev and Putin, the situation remained foggy. Possessing reliable information about who put the jurisd with milk, you can easily calculate the name of the next mayor of Moscow. But when you can only see how they put in the mouth, but left behind the scenes, who climbed into the pocket - how not to fall into despair?

The situation is aggravated by accompanying text. It was interesting to listen to Putin. He says, and you unravel the knots to yourself. This, they say, nothing. This is completely true, but here the leader, it seems, is modern again.

From large fires, from inexpensive buckwheat or metropolitan surprises, but Putin at once abandoned nodules and simply stopped tiring himself with truth. Whether he goes on a yellow “Lada”, whether patriotic dreams sings in unison with lop -eared spies, whether a crowd of rich tourists promises a flaming Caucasus - well, a person cannot resist. But the vestibule has reached the peaks of ingenuity, explaining the removal of Luzhkov.

If you remember, on the pages of this magazine and a week before the expulsion, I brought the mayor’s troubles exclusively from the features of a cruel election fight between the president and the prime minister. It’s not good to push my own merits, and of course I would have refrained from such immodesty, but Yuri Mikhailovich himself indicated for the same reason. Such support is worth a lot. And I completely lifted my nose when E.N. Baturina is a serious woman, monetary, not throwing words into the wind.

Now see what Putin said in Syktyvkar, where he arrived to discuss the problems of the development of the forestry complex: “It is obvious that the mayor’s relationship with the president did not work out. However, the mayor is a subordinate to the president, and not vice versa. It was necessary to take steps in a timely manner to normalize this situation. ”

Only three phrases - and how many lies are in them!

The mayor is not a "subordinate" of the president: he is elected by the city Duma. That the relationship “did not develop” is not “obvious” at all, since the scandal turned out to be unexpected for everyone, including Putin himself. No “steps” of Luzhkov could be saved. “Loss of trust” is not related to theft, nor to despotism, nor to the criminal friends of Luzhkov. Medvedev does not believe only one thing: the fact that when it breaks off, Luzhkov does not fall out of all Moscow voices in the Lukoshko V. Putin.

Long before the United Russia party hatched from the Berezovo-Dorenkovsky egg, Luzhkov established full control over Moscow. Bandits and judges, billionaires and pensioners ate from his hands. Newspapers snorted at the presidents, but the mayor was afraid before Sineva. He was pleased with the ugliness of friends and mercilessly to the freckles of enemies. His propaganda machine, regularly lubricated by the inventive Mr. Tsoem, did not know the failures. It is still not destroyed, it is still suitable for operation and will move after its creator at any address, except for two: foreign exile and prison. Almost certainly, these places will finish with these places.

But Putin is not alone in his crafty. The epidemic of lies filled government boxes. The presidential spokesman said that Medvedev held the Council with the Prime Minister about Luzhkov, and Putin still hesitates at the stage of hope: “I think I will have the opportunity to express my opinion.” The chairmen of both parliamentary chambers see what hot porridge is brewed in a Moscow pot and just in case are staying away. But they also carry every nonsense. The mayor “must be both a politician and a strong business executive”, S. Mironov mutters under his breath. The mayor should be with “great life experience and experience in managing big projects”, the lost B. Gryzlov echoes him. At the same time, both are aware that nothing more than a more assertive of the two owners is required of the applicant is not required.

The effectiveness of "United Russia" as the only source of the country's highest bureaucratic personnel for the first time undergoes a true test. The victory over Moscow will be greatly predetermined by the outcome of the upcoming presidential campaign. For the first time, the procedures are involved when the chairman of the party authority personally selects applicants. How many of them will be - three, five, seven? The problem of Putin and his employees is that all of them remained faithful to the National Protectioner in the coming two years. In order not to bite, they do not switch, did not allow themselves to bite themselves.

Finding such people is the task of incredible difficulty. The frames were gleeped. Before becoming the Putin, they were either communists, or democrats, or both of them. At least once, but they either chopped up or overwhelmed, or allowed themselves to bite themselves. Either both, and the third combined. Russia is great, but there is no one to choose from. Although again the unemployed prince from Norway call.

If a freebie with bread and milk did not allow us to independently determine who will become our next favorite mayor, then the upcoming appointment would make it possible to deal with who will cover the next clearing to whom. Already good. But even better, the rehearsal was clearly a success. The complete nonsense were terrible prophecies about the freezing Moscow, trams, grown into burdocks, and hordes of the rebellious city hall with burning “flashing lights” on naked turtles. After 15 million Muscovites after 18 years, Banland was found one kobzon with a groan instead of a song. But it is already standing, waiting for his turn, a varied choir - and he willingly finish what is needed.

With Putin, if he now loses Moscow, it will cost even easier. With the only difference being that things from the office will not collect himself. Politely, but highly, an instant FSB will help him.
