Where to go now the satrap

It happens like this: a person feels that he is born for a certain field, and all the time seeks to go through it, but nothing comes of it. Either fate opposes, or a person is mistaken, believing that he unraveled the secret of purpose. For example, Mikhail Babich still does not specify a career as a governor, governor, and satrap.

The former fighter of the Airborne Forces and the KGB, at first he tried to attach his skills in Chechnya, even under Akhmat Kadyrov, as a prime minister overseeing the Aborigines, but did not work there for long. In November 2002, he arrived there, in January he began to conflict with Akhmat Haji, wanting to control local financial flows, and already in February he flew out of the Grozny chair. The second attempt was as if more successful, since Babich served four and a half years as the Putin Permanent in the Volga Federal District. However, he did not gain any laurels, except that, according to the ill -wishers, he was significantly enriched, but did his vocation be?

Then there was Ukraine.

That is, he did not go to any Ukraine, because in July 2016, when Moscow requested Agriman’s neighbors for Babich, the worst candidate than a former look in Chechnya, it was difficult to imagine, and they did not want to see him in Kiev. But the scandal turned out to be deafeningly loud. The Kremlin once again expressed its attitude towards Ukraine that it was not easy to do after the Crimea and Donbass, but it succeeded. Non -brothers also noted Moscow with great human pleasure that not only Babich, but in general, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation in Kyiv is not needed. Since then, he hasn’t been there, and Ukraine has recalled its own year before this incident.

Finally, in August last year, as it might seem, the Governor-General of the Governor's Star Mikhail Viktorovich rose. After long delays, he was appointed Russian ambassador to Belarus. And at the same time, the special representative of the development of trade and economic cooperation with the Lukashenko regime. Moreover, these appointments were accompanied by such disputes between Moscow and Minsk, public and non -public, at the level of diplomatic and with the participation of the first persons, which immediately became clear: the true governor and the jurisdiction of the association of the two fraternal countries were coming. It got to the point that this sore question was brought out in the heading of the respected publication : "Will Mikhail Babich become Governor General Minsk?" The answer came down to the fact that maybe it would not, but it would be crushing the dad with terrible force. Unsettled in Ukraine and in Chechnya.

Let us give tribute to the ambassador: he did not deceive his expectations. He began to work on the “rapprochement of positions” of Russia and Belarus, traveling around the Union State, as in the Volga District, meeting both businessmen and with opposition, generously distributing an interview. The paratrooper by nature, the Chekist by profession, the prosecutor in the natural inclination, Babich constantly and willingly intervened in the internal affairs of the sovereign Belarus, and this for the time being came off with him. Probably, the mortally afraid of Lukashenko, who was afraid for his power, wanted to constantly be aware of what was on Putin’s mind, and in this sense, a non -curely diplomat was useful. After all, he was not at all embarrassed, teaching the citizens of the country of stay, how they need to act in order to still be more closely with Russia, under what conditions the Kremlin is ready to continue to support the Belarusian economy and which neighbors should avoid so as not to upset Moscow. He tactlessly calculated what fraternal friendship costs us, noticeably upsetting the audience. Well, of course, our Crimea praised and everything that was connected with it, as if hinting at something. Belarusians cringed.

However, sometimes they could not stand it, and then the discussions between the diplomats of the two fraternal countries were enriched with phraseology unheard of before. I remember that Anatoly Eye, the Midovsky official in Minsk, complained how tired of reading Babich’s statements and disassemble all these “tanned sets of numbers” after him, with murderous irony, adding that he is free to “determine the bar for himself, which turns him into an accountant or an accountant’s hope”. The quick -tempered president of Belarus also repeatedly cheated on his rule - without getting down to a polemic with the ambassador, carefully listen to his speech - and rude to the Governor -General. He responded contemptuously, they say, the dad was misleading, which did not contribute to the mileage of the parties.

It is difficult to say what served as the last straw in Lukashenko’s dispute with the Moscow governor and forced Alexander Grigoryevich with all the firmness to ask Vladimir Vladimirovich: remove the ambassador. There is an assumption that this decision was influenced by the recent arrest in Minsk, Deputy Secretary of State of the Council of People's Commissars of Belarus and the former head of the Security Service of Lukashenko Andrei Vtyurin. The officially detainee is accused of corruption, and according to the rumors, he is convicted of cooperation with the FSB and contacts with the same Babich. And although it is difficult to believe that Mikhail Viktorovich felt like a master in a foreign country so much that he began to prepare a coup, recruiting local security forces, but we can’t really place this assumption. Yes, Lukashenko is famous for his terrible suspicion, but here is the case when it can be understood. In the end, the power in this country is kept on it alone, he himself arranged this way, because, probably, the temptation, overwhelming the older brothers, to end the Belarusian statehood. Against the background of the next showdown with Russian oil, which Belarusians completely stop at their borders, such a temptation becomes almost irresistible.

True or not, but since yesterday Babich is no longer an ambassador . This does not mean that with an absolutely impassive (in comparison with the recalled governor), Mezentsev’s relations of Moscow and Minsk will at least slightly improve. But this means that the Governor General Babich rolled again and we can only guess where it will rise now. In Africa? In Kazakhstan? In Venezuela? And will it rise? It is said that it is common for a person to make mistakes in his purpose, and if Mikhail Viktorovich is not written in the family to be a successful satrap, then you can’t say against fate. Maybe he really will go to the accountants, or even accountants?
