In the Kremlin

Submission of a meadow

September 28, 2010 Alexander Ryklin

So, it happened ... Yes, even with what a dental formulation. Yuri Luzhkov was suspended from his position "as the confidence of the president." Do you know what the keyword is here? "President" ...

No matter how paradoxical it sounds, but all those questions that surfaced in the head immediately when the news is found on the news feed, somehow: they will not be imprisoned-they will not be imprisoned? And who is in his place? And what about Baturina? Will the money be withdrawn soon? And who will get it? .. And other inheritance? .. So all these seemingly the most important not only for Moscow, but for the whole country, issues today are of deeply secondary importance.

I honestly admit: until the last moment I doubted that Yuri Luzhkov would be dismissed in all the predicted deadlines. The intrigue, started by the only purpose - to indicate to Dmitry Medvedev (and other interested parties) that his place was not at all at the top of the power vertical - it seemed that it developed quite successfully. Yuri Luzhkov was impudent day by day, almost wiped his feet on the Kremlin, and because of the wall neither a moan nor sigh ... And everyone understood: since Medvedev did not dismiss Luzhkov, despite the egregious behavior of the latter, it means that it cannot ... So, the largest boss, to whom, in fact, Yuri Mikhailovich addressed the lowest request to “cover” them with his wife’s business, to the request of this one, to the request of this. Now blocks the decision on Luzhkov. Consequently, the whole country (however, God with it, with the country - the whole nomenclature shovla) had to reject the last doubts and to understand himself once and for all who steers here. Forever centuries, regardless of the position held. Dot. The 2012 intrigue was melting before our eyes. The owner, so demonstratively showing the complete neglect of Medvedev, left no doubt about his intentions and plans for the coming years ... True, many observers converged in the opinion that Yuri Luzhkov nevertheless went too far. The presidential position is sacred, regardless of who occupies it at the moment. Such a frank demonstration of disrespect for the first person is undermined by the foundations of the current system of power. What is allowed by Putin cannot be allowed to someone else. Nevertheless, even those who predicted the ambulance of the Moscow mayor believed that the case would do without breaking their hands, rude shouts and blows below the waist.

I was waiting for about such a scenario ... “Yuri Mikhailovich ... so many years of selfless service ... But we have advised Vladimir Vladimirovich here ... I really hope that in a new high position ... For merits to the Fatherland of the 1st degree, and immediately the 2nd ... We begin consultations ... to maintain the continuity of power in Moscow so as not to destroy everything that is a long-term position of the honored mayor ... "Kepke" on the Sparrow Mountains ... "

This is how the resignation of Yuri Luzhkov should have looked. It seems to be ... But, it seems, such a scenario did not suit Putin, because he still left the opportunity for different interpretations of the situation.

I have no doubt for a second that the neglecting through the lip “I will not go to resign” was authorized and approved by Putin - well, Yuri Mikhailovich does not look like a reckless warrior, which is most baking about personal honor. He is an experienced, sophisticated, cynical and unprincipled courtier. And since he did not crawl to Medvedev on a belly with his wife, it means he was not afraid. So, he felt the support of Vladimir Putin behind his back. And he probably had her.

It seems that Vladimir Vladimirovich, having decided not to hand over Luke under any conditions, was firmly sure that it was impossible to step over his categorical “no”. No one in the country. But such a person was found. This is the most curious result of the entire scandalous epic with the dismissal of such large fish that until recently Yuri Luzhkov remained.

It’s not that I was enthusiastic about the “birth of the king” ... I am not even sure that it took place. Maybe we have witnessed a nervous seizure ... Maybe dinner with Chinese comrades surpassed all expectations, maybe he is already in horror, he is gaining a treasured phone number to say that the demon had been guaranteed ...

But today, for some reason, I want to believe that in Russia there was a breakup of the current system, that we are already living in a new political reality, that a real war in the highest echelons of power awaits us. The war, which may not end with a complete collapse of the entire structure, but in any case will give us a lot of marvelous plots. And, by the way, he will open before the opposition new and unexpected prospects ... Now the main thing is not to yawn.
