A post -harvesting company

“What is the general that this one,” Boris Nikolaevich said in his hearts, and this in his unique Kremlin language meant dismissal. He was tired of his closest associates and sent them to hell. Out of sight, from the heart - forever.

Compared to Yeltsin, Yushchenko is much harder today.

He cannot disperse anyone, including the Rada, which he sent to re -election. Neither sworn allies led by Orange Julia, nor solid enemies, led by Tezka Yanukovych. This is the character of the president, and such that the rules of the game are even more important. And there is no Chubais or swan at hand, on which he could rely on the political struggle. Yushchenko lonely.

The landscape after the 2007 elections has little changed compared to the previous landscapes. Again, Yushchenko can feel like a moral winner: elections in his country, as the last time, were dramatic, democratically, without the use of an administrative resource, in a European, not in our way. But only. "Bronze" for him in these elections is a reward, although expected, but poor.

Again, the president is the same damned choice: between Tymoshenko and Yanukovych. Orange ideals, passion and love, “war with corruption”, permanent carnival and scandal as a style of communication and leadership - this is, say, on the left on the one hand. And on the right, friendly, with a frozen smile on a motionless face, waves his hand "Professor". And both are familiar to tears.

What is good Lady Yu - she is with her enemies, among whom Viktor Andreevich may again be, will fight openly. Without hiding neither presidential ambitions, nor a personal attitude to the “Tuyufyak” Yushchenko, as soon as he wants to slightly slow down the pace of building a happy society in a single Ukraine.

What is bad Yanukovych - it is hidden. Although, in general, it is also clear - with his leisurely thieves habits, and with solidity as a character trait, even close to the president. In addition, unlike the fierce Julia Vladimirovna, who does not frighten either with a prison or resignations, the prime minister is a student. That is, in dangerous situations, Yanukovych is scared and retreats, as during the revolution or after the president, having solved his corruption games in the Rada, appoints new elections. However, it is still very dangerous, this folk chosen one with two biased criminal records - the support of the East, the support of Donetsk, and the support of Moscow.

What Tymoshenko taught the experience of previous years is the issue as difficult as the ability of Yanukovych to invisiblely combine the former supporters of the president behind his back. For his strength has always fought in the intransigence of the leaders of 2004, and the more willing to find out relations, the heroes of the Orange Revolution cursed and cursed each other, the deeper Ukraine thought about a man whom Putin had already congratulated on the victory in that unforgettable year. And the more hopeless Ukrainians were disappointed in their orange leaders, the more confident Yanukovych felt.

In conscience, Yushchenko should unite with Lady Yu. But from the soul, it turned back. He does not want to work in pairs with any of them in his heart.

In general, with Jeanne d'Arc it is good on barricades, and in peaceful life with her is almost unbearable. In general, Yanukovych is good in the first days after parting with Tymoshenko, and then it turns out that this quiet, calm person slowly devouches you and will not choke. That the general, that this one, is not given the third. Buridanov Oslu - and that was easier.

Therefore, the president pauses.

Shocking his supporters from our Ukraine and Yulia Tymoshenko, pleasantly amazing Yanukovych, he calls for all (with the exception of the Communists) of the participants in the election battles to create a "wide ruling coalition." And then he flies away to Germany, where it is impossible to do without it when the presentation of certain annual awards. You agree here, gentlemen, and I have business. More important than yours.

This was the main meaning of the pre -election presidential message: to show who is the master in the hut. But not only. Hanging the situation, he slightly slowed down the activity of the Kremlin and Gazprom, which, when a cursory acquaintance with the election results, was already breaking on a conditional reflex: pay billions or disconnect the gas. Finally, he made it clear to all interested parties that in the near future, whoever won, he would have to deal with another Yushchenko. With the one who dispersed Rada and insisted in the elections, and now he will still think about whom to take the team. In the meantime, he is ready to wait and listen to how they will seek a but and a party of regions without him.

Doomed to work again with the coalition government, Viktor Yushchenko seeks to form an office from a position of strength. And if there was not too much forces and votes in the election not too much, then it remains only to slow down the rapid course of political life as far as possible. This is the right strategic solution, and the tactics are essentially correct. After all, as in 2004 and in 2006, he would like to appoint the Prime Minister of the faithful Ekhanurov. And fate-prisoner tells other names.

Last time, he rushed between them, painfully choosing the smaller of evils, they all disappeared. Now you have to choose again among the same tormentors, so even if they get through with him. Maybe then they will become more obedient - that of them (most likely) to whom he will point to, thinking, hesitating, talking, setting the conditions. It’s a pity that this sweet pause cannot be kept forever.
