In the Kremlin

Manipulators

January 19, 2006 Alexander Ryklin

The inhabitants of the Kremlin of the Putin's call are still rightfully proud of one important feature of the current administration: almost no information flowed out of it. Really did not take a thing. It is enough to recall that, for example, the content of all the latest presidential messages to the Federal Assembly has never become the property of publicity until their official publication. (Under Boris Nikolayevich, we did not have a full text for a good month before the celebration, then the general concept, illustrated by individual quotes and entire paragraphs, knew for sure.) Using the experience acquired at the previous work, high -ranking officials who quickly burned the cabinets on the Old Square, were able to reproduce the regime of absolute secrecy in the new conditions. But it seems that this bastion collapsed - on the Internet (more precisely, in a living magazine) an amazing document appeared, the so -called Temnik. We give it completely for two reasons. Firstly, I do not doubt his authenticity for a second (I will explain below why), and secondly, he illustrates those political customs that reign in Russia today. Therefore, I urge all readers of the “daily magazine” not to be too lazy and read this instructive document.

Even a superficial analysis of the text, its format, rubrication, stylistics, the general political orientation indicate undoubted authenticity. (I can hardly imagine that you can make a fake of this quality.) And there is no obvious compromising evidence in the document. So - a description of the workdays of inconspicuous employees of the Political Technology Front. But, as they used to say earlier, the whole complex and bulky design of the modern political system of Russia rests on the shoulders of these modest workers. This is the foundation of the Putin vertical of power. Its support and foundation. All characters mentioned in the official note are absolutely real and act in accordance with their official duties. We turn, however, to the text itself.

The document is devoted to the attack of a national preoccupied maniac on parishioners and guests of the synagogue on Bolshaya Bronnaya and is designed to serve as an instruction for solving a number of political tasks that are not directly related to this particular crime. So, in the section “The main theses for comments”, the following passage attracts special attention: “The left and right-liberal opposition united in an effort to accuse the power of extremism on national soil ... At the same time, the opposition itself actively flirts with nationalists and frank fascists represented by the NBP. The Union of the Communist Party, ATP, "Yabloko" and "Motherland" against the authorities is a direct threat to the unity of the country. "

It is clear that for the sake of this frightening conclusion, the previous lines were written. But a clear mistake crept into them. After all, what is connivance? This is when someone who has the opportunity to effectively respond to negative events and trends prefers to stay away, giving these trends to develop their own. But the leaders of the opposition (for example, in the person of Harry Kasparov and Nikita Belykh) are talking about completely different today. They say that the Kremlin initiates the provocations of the Nazis (say, a permanent march or gang attacks on NBP activists), is engaged in deliberate inciting interethnic growth, using administrative and financial resources, leads the fascists to the advance of the Russian political process, makes maximum efforts to make their shares as noticeable and, consequently, as socially dangerous as possible. For what? It is clear why. The document gives an unambiguous answer to this question. To blame the opposition for all sins. In order for the noise of anti-fascist hysteria (it turns out that it also happens) to deal with parties that have gone under control (for example, the “homeland”). To increase the pressure on the media space (the text directly says about the need for restrictions on the Internet). In order to ultimately destroy in the public consciousness even the idea of ​​a possible change in power. What a change of power is there when the fascists at the threshold!

In other words, the document below clearly indicates what cement the Kremlin chiefs are going to fasten the well -sown the foundation of the same Putin vertical who has recently sustained. In my opinion, a completely trivial reception. First, we give rise to fascism in Russian society, then we declare it the main threat to the country, then we begin to actively fight it. Well, when there is a struggle with such an universal evil as fascism, the main thing is that the society is stability and consent. And with inconsistent overthrows of stability should be acted according to the laws of wartime. But this is, apparently, the topic of the next service note, which, most likely, we will never see.


Topics for media reacting (Wednesday 11 - Sunday January 15, 2006)

Home Topic:

An attack was made on the Moscow synagogue on Bolshaya Bronnaya Street.

EVENT:
Tonight at about 17.30, 20-year-old Muscovite Alexander Kopsev, armed with a knife, burst during the service in the synagogue on Bolshaya Bronnaya Street and inflicted at least ten parishioners of varying severity, one of which may be fatal. Among the victims Isaac Kogan, the rabbi of the Moscow synagogue. The attacker was neutralized by parishioners and transferred into the hands of the police. Currently, is in the 83rd department and is interrogated by investigators.

A criminal case has been instituted on the fact of the attack under the article "Intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm based on the motives of national or religious enmity."

REFERENCE:
The synagogue on Bolshaya Bronnaya Street, after its returning in 1991, the Jewish community has repeatedly become an object of terrorist activity. In 1993, a bomb, thrown into the rabbi room, caused a fire. In July 1999, before the start of the children's holiday, a bomb was laid in the synagogue, which was neutralized in advance. In April 2003, the offender, who remained unknown, laid an explosive device on the sidewalk in front of the synagogue, settled the wick and disappeared.

Recommendations for lighting:
The topic is strategic importance and relevance.

It seems necessary until the end of the week to make the main topic in all the media, primarily on television channels and leading print media. Suggestions on the formats of materials will be developed additionally. It is advisable to bring oral instructions for further coverage of the topic twice a day to the channels.

Medium response goals:
• preparation of public consciousness for the adoption of a law aimed at opposing anti -Semitism and xenophobia;
• the use of an event to prove the danger of legalizing fascism and reality of a nationalist threat;
• maximum binding of the “homeland” to nationalist ideology and the assignment of responsibility for what happened;
• actualization in the public consciousness of the nationalist previous anti -Semitic and Xenophobic actions of the “homeland” (“Letter 500”, the Moscow video);
• the use of the situation to stop cooperation between the “homeland” with “Yabloko” and the Communist Party (“Homeland” should be criticized by representatives of these parties, it should be clear that cooperation with it is impossible);
• Bringing into the information space of the requirements of public representatives to take harsh measures in relation to the "homeland" as the most dangerous bearer of nationalist ideology.

By the end of the week, the need for decisive actions by the authorities to confront the nationalist threat should become obvious.

Media response methods:
In the news blocks of television and radio channels, the following types of materials are needed in information and analytical programs and print media:

• Information about the environment and lifestyle of Kopsev. It is necessary to emphasize his typicality, inconsistency, similar to others. The main conclusion: the Nazis are among us, and we cannot always identify them.
• journalistic and analytical materials about the widespread spread in Russian society and the real danger of fascism and nationalism. The main conclusion: fascism poses a significant threat. Fascist ideology pushes people into crimes, since Russian society is frivolous about it. In Russia, forces standing in nationalist positions are openly operating, which is absolutely unacceptable.
• The reaction of the international community to what has happened, indicating its concern and fright.
• Comments of public and political figures.

Due to the variety of commentators, their belonging to various political forces and status social groups, the magnitude of the threat and the need for decisive actions should be understood. Comments of representatives of the "Motherland" should only be given if they can be presented as an attempt to justify themselves. Comments of the Communist Party of the Communist Party should even be given if they do not contain a condemnation of nationalist ideology. The presence of communists in a series of commentators is mandatory.

The main theses for comments:

• At the plenary meeting of the State Duma 13.01, it is planned to discuss the situation around the armed attack on parishioners in the Moscow synagogue. Deputies of the United Russia faction intend to draw the attention of the Russian public to the need for an objective analysis of the causes of anti -Semitic sentiments in certain categories of Russian citizens. One of the main reasons for the escalation of such moods is speeches with anti -Semitic appeals of the current deputies of the State Duma, the so -called "Patriotic opposition" of the Communist Party of the Communist Party and "Homeland". It is obvious that a sharp surge of anti -Semitic sentiments in the country is observed after the publication of the notorious “anti -Semitic letter 19” of the current deputies of the State Duma from the Federal Council of the Communist Party and the “Rodina” who urged them to prohibit the activities of Jewish organizations in Russia. It is characteristic that this provocative letter was published on the eve of the Russian President’s trip for mourning events in Auschwitz in January 2005. It should be recalled that not one of the deputies of the signature was responsible for his anti-Semitic statements and was even convicted by the leadership of the Communist Party of the Communist Party and Rodina.

• The left and right-liberal opposition united in the desire to accuse the power of connivance with extremism on national grounds. Oppositionists use every opportunity to, on the one hand, once again remind of their existence, and, on the other, to receive political dividends on the national question. At the same time, the opposition itself actively flirts with the nationalists and frank fascists in the person of the NBP. The Union of the Communist Party, ATP, apple and the "homeland" against the authorities is a direct threat to the unity of the country. The opposition’s performances with absurd and blasphemous accusations against the authorities cause great damage to the international image and investment attractiveness of the Russian Federation. Oppositionists in selfish political interests act on the principle of "the worse for the country, the better for them." More recently, Yavlinsky and the apple were going to unite with the fascist Limonov. The liberals and the “patriots” at one time raised a big noise around the trial over the 18-year-old Limonovites, with whom the power allegedly ruthlessly spreads. Today, the same young man entered the synagogue with a knife.

• The attack on the synagogue indicates the need to tighten Russian legislation in the fight against extremism on national and religious grounds. The testimony of A. Koptsev and his relatives about his passion for anti -Semitic literature and visiting nationalist sites make us think about additional measures to control the spread of information on the Internet. Law enforcement agencies must receive additional powers to control the activities of extremist and nationalist organizations in order to timely suppress acts of violence. The need for more decisive actions of the Ministry of Justice to suppress the activities of political parties and public non -profit organizations of the nationalist sense also becomes obvious. The reaction of society to the attack on the synagogue remains quite sluggish. Society has not yet managed to see the impending threat of fascism. It is necessary to mobilize all the healthy forces of the Russian society to suppress the “brown subculture”.

It is advisable to divide commentators into three groups, appointing those responsible for working with their representatives:

• Journalists, representatives of the public and creative intelligentsia, religious figures (Zelinskaya, Lukin, Berl Lazar) are concerned with manifestations of nationalism, the requirements to prohibit organizations that bear responsibility for the spread of nationalist ideology, to establish control of printed products and Internet sites.

• Representatives of the parliamentary factions of “United Russia” in the State Duma and SF, the leadership of the State Duma (Gryzlov, Slinka, Pekhtin, Draganov, Isaev, Igoshin, Barinov, Voronin Popov, Fedorov, Krashennikov) - the need to punish those responsible for the spread of nationalist ideology, to take measures to prevent extremism, the direct responsibility of the “Rodina” for the spread of nationalist ideology, and communication, and communication. previous Xenophobic and nationalist actions of the “homeland” with a crime, a call to investigate the release of the Ksenophobic television of the “homeland” in the past elections in the MDD; Discreditation of ATP, apple and Communist Party as secret allies of the Nazis through the connection with the NBP.

• Politicians and political scientists associated with the left camp (Semigin Podberzkin, Kagarlitsky, Kishenin) - the need for left -wing forces decisively dissociate from nationalist and anti -Semitic elements, a call to the prohibition of the “homeland”.

• Representatives of the LDPR (Zhirinovsky, Mitrofanov), offering to give a significantly more stringent political and legal assessment of the activities and statements of the leaders of the “homeland” and the Communist Party - a call to cancel the registration of these parties as nationalist and extremist.
