The last Russian myth

" The so -called non -alternativeness of today's Putin is an extremely dangerous thing for both the authorities and for society as a whole ... The entire political structure of modern Russia turned out to be suspended on the thin thread of the Putin myth. And in this sense, Putin is our everything. Putin is the last Russian myth, meaningless and merciless.

All of the above has only an indirect attitude to our real contemporary, whose name is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. For the creators of the myth, he is the same detail of the design as “administrative vertical”, “going together”, a twelve -headed calendar and other attributes.

A champing bureaucracy, which is conveniently crumbling in the shadow of the Putin myth created by it, is so encouraging the reaction of our good people that she dreams of extending this mise -en -scenes of history for 7, 17 years, for 21 years. ”

It was not 17, but only ten years with a little - and one of the leading creators of the Putin myth appeared with a confused, almost literally repeating my long -standing warning . But its tonality is more likely to blackmail than repentance.

"Putin is not just a personality, Putin is a state myth of an existing system. This is, if you want, such an essential of a civil religion - regardless of what he thinks of himself. The idea is" let's remove the graphite deceiver from the reactor and see what will happen " - this is, perhaps, an interesting experiment, but at that moment I would like to be away from this place ... He is such an informal institution, which is not in the constitution. Putin's departure of the system will acquire vile forms of political decay. "

I wonder if the professional provocateur understands with 30 years of experience, what sentence he pronounces the last phrase to himself and his accomplices who, for ten years in a row, diligently puffed up a crooking official from the St. Petersburg city hall through a straw?

Closely demonstrating the bore of Basayev in Dagestan, the explosions of houses in Moscow and Volgodonsk, the "exercises" in Ryazan, the shools took out the "Savior of the nation" from the sleeve of the Savior. A young energetic officer of special services appeared in the zombie, giving sharp and clear teams, sending Russian regiments to the depths of the Caucasus, taking horror and death to terrorists and enemies rising from the knees of Russia. And the female soul of Russia, who was yearning for the imperious lord, reached out of the solid Evgeny Maksimovich to the young hero-lover.

But today, no sessions with a naked torso do not cover the bare ass of a Putin myth spreading at the seams. Her vile, in the fair expression of the master, the decay was genetic programmed. Official propaganda prefers not to remember about the Caucasus. And the Savior of the nation turned out to be the savior of the oligarchy, who replenished his ranks with a security brigade from the cooperative "Lake".

It’s too late to scare children with Putin's departure. Yes, every evening in news programs a tired irritated person with bags under the eyes diligently mows under an anti -crisis manager. But the myth of the great and beloved Putin died.

The appeal "Putin must leave" turned out to be a factor in public life to a much greater extent than we, its authors counted on. The most amazing result is that among the many public responses, often very sharp towards us personally, there was not a single one trying to protect or justify Putin. Many people with great pleasure and the legitimate sense of intellectual superiority explain in detail to us what is wrong, not for that, in the wrong style, not with those language means it was necessary to expose Putin or in general he is so negligible that it does not even deserve any mention, but we must fight with the "system". But no one, including Pavlovsky in his discussion with foreigner, did not even try to say what was still good for the country of Putin or his bright image.

But Pavlovsky, unlike his interlocutor, seems to understand that the Medvedev project that he supports will encounter after the final elimination of Putin with insurmountable institutional problems. Inozemtsev is unconditionally right, believing that when Putin leaves, the corrupt "elites" will rally around anyone who will remain upstairs, for example, around Medvedev. But the problem is that the rallying will have to “sell” themselves as a power project in one way or another to a society.

There are two such methods in large - victory in the democratic elections or a new leader myth. The best people of the city (from Jurgens to Inozemtsev) to agree to free elections are categorically refused in advance for those reasons that for many years in a row the tireless Patriot of Russia-2009 Radzikhovsky voiced. As for the leadership myth, before our eyes there is a vile decay not just his next Putin incarnation. This time, this time, not only our purely concrete father turned out to be a crust - after such a farce embodiment, the very idea of ​​our father turned out to be, and no avatars were no longer expected.

Putin was the last Russian myth, meaningless and merciless.
