In the opposition

We vote for Ivan!

September 7, 2011 Anton Orech

Somehow I do not want to feel like a fool, but on the other hand ... a fact is a fact. I mean the "nomination" of Okhlobystin to the president. Of course, the reaction to this statement amused me. I say that I don’t want to look like a fool, and discussing this event in complete seriousness, you inevitably self-actually. Like the discussion of full -time analysts. Or the Russian Orthodox Church, which seems to be completely devoid of a sense of humor and any irony. The church remembered that in fact, Ivan was “a priest in reserve”, and therefore it was not worth him to mark the presidency, growing up with the authorities. As if everything else that he does is the triumph of the Orthodox canon. And most importantly, as if the Church itself is so zealously distant from the secular authorities that you hold it seven.

Okhlobystin - joked. For those who did not understand, he intensified the joke with plans to introduce a 14-year presidential term, they say, then the master who came to power will definitely be saturated. And Vanya will have a race of arms, a huge army, a monarchy and other crap, but "with God's help."

I think all this will certainly improve the sale of its tickets, the ratings of its series, the sale of the retail network advertised by him, although it is unlikely to lure a significant percentage of cheerful youth to the elections, as some political scientists are suspicious. It seems to be advanced, the youth will lure, and then they will withdraw and, what kind of good, they will call to vote for some Putin. That is, I do not exclude that Ivan was “asked” to arrange this action in order to warm up the election so -called “campaign”. But in this case, the heating trend is some kind of one-sided. Either the Orthodox showman, then the girl’s clothes tearing on themselves.

And the interest among the public in the nomination of Ivan, oddly enough, speaks of the desire of people to participate in the process. If there are no normal elections, then at least make fun of an illusion. If there is no normal alternative - so at least a fool to fall. Well, in the end? If this is the case, and Okhlobystin will remain on the list (hardly, of course, but what doesn’t happen), then why not support the trend of idiocy, and since we are offered a circus instead of elections - to bring the clowning to the point of absurdity. We vote for Ivan!
