The funny thing in this situation is to watch those who impudently call themselves political scientists. For eight years, these guys worked as interpreters of the president, explaining to us, simple mortals, the genius of any decision by Putin V.V. until recently they were on each television channel, just not from the iron, discussed how important and useful that the current president appointed the successor and remained with him a controller. But ask any of them how the double -haired vertical will function, what officials - from the presidential administration or government apparatus - are now more important, and he will divorce with his hands.
Why, why did our bosses stop climbing the Mausoleum on holidays? Why newspapers have not published panoramic photographs of party captivity with a presidium of 200 people for a long time. If the Soviet traditions were preserved, then “political scientists” would have at least some actual basis for analysis. One could, armed with a magnifying glass, determine the place of a particular official in the existing hierarchy. And now you can only guess on the coffee grounds.
The next meeting of Politklub Izvestia turned out to be very indicative here. Most of the participants painfully squeezed out something science -like, not having to say anything on the merits. The quintessence of the mental activity of these same political scientists was the conclusion made by Sergei Markov: “As for dual power, it is more appropriate to talk about the double center of power. But how the situation will develop inside this double center - the question is still open. Will Dmitry Medvedev become a leader? It depends on the two main factors. First. From Dmitry Medvedev. The second-from Vladimir Putin ... depends on Vladimir Putin in the sense that no one knows that he decided for himself ... ". Vasisuali Lokhankin is sobbing.
Meanwhile, the current period of interrelation is really very interesting and important for the future of the country. When the Constitution was recorded that the president was taking office two months after the election, obviously, had in mind the American model. That is, it was assumed that all two months officials of the outgoing administration will transfer cases to authorized representatives of the new president. At the same time, consultations are held in the Duma on the composition of the future government, programs and concepts are discussed. In order to approve the prime minister after disputes.
The beauty of the current situation is that the freshly elected president does not even stutter about the transfer of affairs (which is quite understandable - I really want to survive at least until the inauguration). As for the Medvedev team, there are only rumors. It is ridiculous about consultations of the future prime minister with Duma "vegetables". Let them say that he listened the other day and was angry only at Zhirik.Now Putin and Medvedev are busy with a much more interesting and important thing - they themselves are trying to understand that they have learned this, they think how to share powers so that the “old” is not envious, and the “new” does not look at the same time at the same time by the puppet. After all, it is quite obvious that for eight years Putin diligently created a system of power, which is impossible to share. In this system of “manual management” the country, the president exercises power, daily making dozens of managerial decisions. If you delegate the right to accept them to someone else, then you lose power.
Here is the simplest question: what will the assignment system for positions in the "power" departments will look now? It is clear that the signature under the decree will put Medvedev. But where will they prepare this solution? If in the new administration, it means that it will be there the most serious lever of influence on the security forces. Is Putin ready to find this influence? If not, then he needs to arrange a matter in such a way that the papers pass through his people, so that he would somehow spent them. And this, I repeat, is the easiest, routine issue of the Kremlin’s daily activity.
You can imagine what confusion will come. It is reported that Putin's assistant Igor Shuvalov is now preparing proposals for the separation of powers. I only suspect that the powers of Shuvalov himself will be not enough for this important business.
