The democrats of calling the beginning of the 90s surrendered in front of the Kremlin. With all the coherence of the choice, yesterday's lighthouses of reform chose lack of freedom and non -casualness . Now the structure of the party is built as follows: the mass of the apparatus, the politicalate. In the political reserve more equal to all the Nemts. Nemtsov, of course, is not a leader, about which he himself is not embarrassed saying: "I am like Chubais." And Chubais, he is always as a president, whoever is the president. Yeltsin so Yeltsin, Putin is so Putin.
However, the Polittusovka, which formed the ATP, went under the Kremlin all ten reformist years. And it is not strange that in the end, the main and only ideology of the escapes was the desire to save their places in the party buffet, at the party cash desk, and for the party leaders at the state budget. Chubais took them for this ideology, with the help of close journalists, who published his interviews with threats from the rations of those delegates of the Constituent Congress, who disagree with the General Line of the Presidential Administration, who published on the eve of the congress. Later, Chubais confidentially explained to the indignant delegates that the journalist, who interviewed, attributed to him words that he did not speak. Even a certain sheet with a refutation spread. However, the threats did their job. The frightened delegates voted on the main issues as required. The only relief that the apparatchiks went to the congress was the consent to make a position to the charter that admits that the party members who do not agree with the decisions of their leadership have the right not to execute these decisions. True, only if this non -fulfillment does not damage the party.
The only rebel at the congress was Sergey Yushenkov. He refused to join the ATP and said that on the basis of the public movement, Liberal Russia was starting together with his colleagues the formation of a new liberal party. Independent of the Kremlin. The delegates to Yushenkov applauded, shook hands in the lobby, called his act courageous and regretted that he fell out of great politics. The intention to form their own party former like -minded Yushenkov considered the frivolous.
But soon rumors crawled around the hall that the leader of Liberal Russia was supporting Berezovsky, and the attitude to the reaches of the renegade has changed. To the questions of journalists, whether he met with Berezovsky, Yushenkov answered: "Yes."
