In the Kremlin

On December third, all federal channels showed how against the background of gloomy technologists from NGOs. Lavochkina President Putin sums up the results of the Duma elections. The main thing, according to the head of state, is that Russian citizens clearly spoke out against such a scenario of the development of their country, according to which some states went in the post -Soviet space. What exactly the president had in mind was clear in just a few minutes. In one of the following news stories, the story of the upcoming voting in the Ukrainian bearing on the candidacy of the speaker, the announcer summed up the following phrase: "The results of this vote are absolutely unpredictable." Reported notes were clearly heard in the voice of the announcer.Well, yes ... Well, yes ... of course, such unstable scenarios are useless to us. And how do you, dear readers, is this ridiculous Hugo Chavez? All. They wrote off the newly -minted Che Guevar. No, well, in fact, what is the National Leader who cannot ensure the right vote in the referendum? I can imagine how they made fun of him in the Kremlin - this chavez also grow to grow. In principle, if things in Russia in the near future go even more stable than now, Putin could borrow Vladislav Surkov to his South American oil industry. Not for long, of course. But, I think, Vladislav Yuryevich would have had enough for a few weeks to give the next referendum in Venezuela the desired result. At the same time, he would have shattered on the side of the deputy head of the presidential administration ...
So, the smoke dispelled, the dust settled, you can look around and summarize some results. The first impression - everyone lost, except Zhirinovsky. The Communists, in the context of a sharp increase in prices and the obvious failure of the entire social policy of the government, undoubtedly could count on a significantly better result. Therefore, their obvious dissatisfaction with the results of the elections is understandable. However, the loud statement of the second person in the party of Ivan Melnikov that the left -wing people can abandon their Duma mandates in protest, I would not seriously consider. Gennady Zyuganov was not capable of such demars in his best years. And they are clearly behind him. Moreover, now the intra -party positions of the country's chief communist are more than shaky - he promised a party of 90 seats in the Duma, and received almost half as much.
With the right flank, of course, everything is more difficult. Yes, they mopy mercilessly - I mean, of course, ATP - yes, they declared enemies of the Fatherland. But, as I understand it, the calculation was made for this. Having taken a sharply opposition position in relation to the authorities, the leaders of the right thus intended to attract a truly democratic electorate, which categorically did not accept the Putin regime. Not attracted. Well, that is, they did not attract at all. Even in the capitals. Or is it no longer left? It seems that the matter is different. One and a half months of honest and uncompromising rhetoric was not enough to regain confidence. But it seems that if Nikita Belykh and Boris Nemtsov (or maybe Anatoly Chubais - who knows?) They will want to stay in politics, their prospects today do not look hopeless at all. The only question is what role they will be able to play in the unification of all opposition forces? Are they ready to go to the end, perhaps, without even claiming the first roles?
However, it is necessary to be aware that all conclusions about the above subjects of our political space are just a by -product of that event, and by and large, of course, the abuse, which was made above us on December 2. We were not asked that day about the ATP with the Communist Party of the Communist Party that day. We were asked if we agree that V.V. Putin will retain his power for an indefinite period. That is, the authorities, through this vote, tried to legitimize any attempts to solve this problem in advance. I repeat - any.
Today, Kremlin analysts shout in chorus that this problem is brilliantly solved. In fact, they all perfectly understand - there was a crushing failure. The point is not even that in support of the president in this referendum - they themselves introduced this term this term in relation to the Duma elections - significantly less than half of the voters of our country expressed. The problem, first of all, is in another - a huge shaft of actual violations of the legislation, which accompanied this election directly on the voting day, allows us to say that they were dishonest. Here are not abstractly not free, but specifically dishonest. And it doesn’t even matter what international observers think about it. It is important that this immature fact undoubtedly departed in the public consciousness. In other words, all the years of the construction of the notorious vertical, the establishment of total control over the electorally significant press, the cleansing of the political field was not given the necessary result - it was still unable to do without large -scale, unprecedented falsifications. And all this egregious abuse of the law occurred literally in front of millions of people. So what legitimacy can we talk about?
Therefore, today we must clearly realize that any attempt by Vladimir Putin in any form to maintain control over the administration of the state after March 2008 - there will be a pure form of the country through the knee. In other words, a dictatorial coup. Does the head of state soberly evaluate all the consequences of such a step? Does Putin have resources and moral readiness to carry out a coup on Putin today? We will receive answers to these questions already in the very near future.
