Luzhkov like Winnie the Pooh

The mayor of Moscow unites a lot with the legendary bear.

Firstly, he is very smart. Secondly, loves honey. Thirdly, a member of the Winnie Pukhov party and even the head of its Moscow branch. Fourth (and this is the main thing!) He knows how to fly in a balloon. Or, at least, he thinks that he can.

Today, on his part, there is a simple human desire to escape from the city plunging into the crisis upstairs. It would be nice for the position of the Prime Minister. Why he boldly inflates PR Sharik, acutely criticizing the government and running a steam locomotive after the Bear Grace. You can’t refuse a flair.

If the government does not abandon the monetarist policy and does not take up urgent nationalization, for the umpteenth time repeats, in the near future banks will collapse and everything else. The forecast is all the more convincing that banks and all-all-all the rest in the near future will collapse in any policy. But it will be possible to say: but we warned with the heel! And slap cap in a large patriotic annoyance. Well, exactly a strategy from a book about a creative bear: if you shout “fluff, fluff!”, Calling the animal, and it responds, then everyone sees what you are well done. And if it does not respond, then you can always make the look that the prudent shot from a gun.

I say - he is smart.

The difficulty is that the public also read the book of the notorious political scientist B. Winnipuher, from which the mayor draws large -scale political ideas. And therefore, with sincere sympathy for his patriotic concern, I am always ready to respond: “That's wonderful! Start, dear Yuri Mikhailovich, nationalization directly from the Intaco company! At the market value, the native state is free, free, finally free! And with a clear conscience.

Last spring, AZ, a multi -sinful one, received a rare at the present time the opportunity to perform on Channel One. The program of Vladimir Pozner is precisely with this name: "Times." The idea of ​​the Siberian river flow to the Aral Sea, revived by the Moscow mayor, was discussed. That is, in the capital all problems have already been resolved, and a large -scale personality of the mayor needs a new scope for the use of his state talents. A story explaining something.

I must say, a month before I was called the editor of the “Time” program (we will call it Elena for conspiracy) and suggested participating in the discussion of a completely different topic. In response to a timid objection, that it is unlikely that such marginals from the Kremlin will want to see on the screen, she explained that for V.V. Pozner is not a question. Well, since it is not a question, then, of course.

Two days later, Elena called back and politely said that, unfortunately, it did not work. V.V. Posner is very sorry, but this is not his decision. Well, since not his decision, then, again, of course. We are not without a concept: there is no reception against scrap. Such times.

And I live calmly further. So no, soon the "time" is starting a plot about the transfer. They called us at the institute. Like, drama requires Luzhkov to have opponents - from the point of view of ecology. Which, by the way, is absolutely correct. The institute bosses briefly calls me back and honestly says:

“Both you and we know very well that the idea is crazy.” But we are not very clever to quarrel with the mayor. And you have to speak. Will you go?

Well, in the sense, you still have no demand.

- Well, since it is necessary - then, of course ... only the hell will let me in.

- But this is not BE. This is their question. They want someone from the institute, the institute sends who will consider it necessary. It's about ecology! Agree.

And, however, they agreed. I come from the morning in Ostankino. And there is already a very worthy company of opponents led by Senior Danilov-Danilian. We are sitting, waiting for yourself. And so he arrived. Simple as Lenin: in modest jeans and a democratic jacket. In the parking lot, a motorcade of large black cars with flashing lights, behind two guards in expensive costumes. Another at the entrance. Plus a spokesman. But this is all behind the scenes.

He welcomes us (well, not us, of course, but above all, mayor) K. L. Ernst himself. We sit, drink gulls, we are conducting optional conversations. Finally, they moved to the studio. On the way K.L. In a friendly manner, he pursues: "Are you, they say, with such an evil mug?" And I must say, this is innate weakness. Artistry is zero. Indeed, the erysipelas is angry. I can imagine too well where the legs grow from. And I think - to say or not. I feel, I will not say. And angry, of course. On yourself.

Even then, cement prices moved down. Like the first forerunner of the crisis. For those who understand. For all others, of course, we still could not have a crisis, because it could never be. We were still in all a quiet harbor and an island of stability that rose from his knees. But the Intaco Family Business, related to the production of cement and concrete, already incur the first losses. The Euro -cement Corporation under the leadership of Filaret Galchev also suffered from the Moscow authorities. With which Inteko in close relations and which back in 2005 was accused by the FAS (ah, erroneously!) Of establishing a monopoly in the cement market.

In this weather, the transfer is so by the way, what can I say in a fairy tale or describe with a pen. This is a canal of 2200 km long, 200 meters wide, with gateways and pumping stations. Moreover, all - for the sake of noble goals of environmental protection and reduction of infiltration losses - in a concrete bed. Millions and millions of tons of Euro -cement. It is worth it to put this idea to the state budget - and prices take off like a balloon. If it is completely clean, then it is not even necessary to build. Say that the project is about to accept, and the shares of their favorite companies themselves will climb up the mountain. Here their very time will be thrown out at a good price, and then let Siberian water flow to himself, where it had flowed before. Well, in the end, we are not barbarians - to break the environment. We just have to have grandmas ...

Well, about this text, I set it out to Ernst. With an evil mug. And he in response with a good smile (a person has artistry - you can’t take it !! I envy.): “Come on, that you are, like a small one. As if you don’t know how many are stealing in other places ... ”What means into Russian means: do not try to say about it on the air. Only about the ecology! All together we will not turn around, including your institute, and before the Moscow prime time, I will cut this piece anyway ...

I do not condemn. So everyone would have entered his place. At least from those who are suitable to lead the first channel. In the morning, the live broadcast only goes to the Far East, there are several hours before the evening prime to bring the picture into a divine view. “Excellent - I think, I won’t say.” Since senior comrades do not advise. But erysipelas, I feel even angrier. Right before our eyes. And what to do with her? It is to blame. There was nothing to ask for permission.

Well, they sat down, let's go. Motor, applause. The mayor immediately enters the trump cards. It is obvious to him as an experienced public community that water will soon be more expensive than oil. Russia, which means brilliant prospects to earn a lot of money on its sale to the fraternal peoples of Central Asia. The audience joyfully applauds - who does not want a lot of money. Indeed, however, without water - not tudus, and not soda. Well done Luzhkov. These fraternal peoples will dance!

Here it was a little relieved. I feel that you can slightly dug it, without even going beyond the environmental framework.

“Sorry,” I say. -Firstly, water, which is called drinking, is more expensive than oil. In bottles. In the Emirates, indeed, the way it is. For drinking water, cubo -kilometers that are planned to be transferred are not needed. It is required hundreds of times less, the matter is not in volumes, but in quality. For the population of Central Asia, there will be enough of their own rivers for the eyes - if you do not pollute them with pesticides with flow of cotton plantations. Secondly, the economy of our brothers in such a state that for another 50 years they will not have an extra penny to pay for imported water. If, however, God will give, a penny will appear, then any economist on the fingers will prove that it is more correct and cheaper to use it to clean his water than to transport a stranger. Which then will still need to be cleaned - like any other from superficial sources.

What, these children's facts are unknown to the experienced communal person Luzhkov? Vedas, of course. But since a large -scale person is driven forward by love for the Fatherland and his budget - here is not up to facts. Drinking water to him is God's dew. I do not get tired of surprising the powerful manifestations of human nature.

For the second time, he comes from geopolitical positions. As it should be for a real patriot. It turns out that with the Aralkum desert arising on the site of the sea bottom, dusty and salt storms rush to our limits. Which carry innumerable misfortunes to domestic agriculture and population. Aral urgently needs to be saved! In our interests! The audience again applauds: “Won it! !! And we think-what is so sour with agriculture with us? No, Luzhkov is a head. Cares! "

Very right. Only for the revival of the Aral, you need at least 40-60 cubo-kilometers of water per year, and the channel promises 4. What, is it also unknown to him?

But the mayor is not distracted by trifles. Energetic, strong -willed. Real statesman. The third and main argument takes out. The Environmental Crisis of the Aral Sea region left the darkness of Uzbeks, Tajiks and Kyrgyz without the work of the darkness. So they all rushed to us in Moscow to work. That is, the argument of the indispensable power. We came up here! In this scenario, an explicit enemy of the Russian people can be against the channel. Fritz, give up!

True, Tajiks and Kyrgyz live in the mountains, thousands of kilometers from Aral, where pure mountain water - pour. Yes, and Uzbeks in the Asaralya, consider no - mostly Kazakhs, Turkmens and Karakalpaki, who are in Moscow - during the day with fire. But who do such trifles worry against the backdrop of a secret ethnic aggression? There is Moldavian with the Chinese Vali to the heap. In the end, in the end, Russian patience!

Here, the television people, finally, became clear why the mayor suffered for the Urals. As a wise strategist, he is preparing to defend on distant approaches to the capital. You won’t spend it on meakin - he sits high, looks far away. For decades. Applause!

In short, angry. The face is simply indecent. Maybe, after all, to say about cement?! ... did not say. And, in all reasons, he did the right thing. Anyway, after all ...

But the sediment remained. It is called - adaptive skills. The longer I observe our state menagerie, the more skills. There is nothing to say about the face.

Because of them, cursed, when I hear the assertive criticism of power from the lips of my favorite mayor, I have only two questions. Did he really aim at the premiership? Or is it such a preventive action? In the sense of when they will shoot, so that the liberal public is indignant: only a person allowed himself a sharp performance from below, offered a democratic alternative to the heart, here and they immediately flooded him. Well, complete lawlessness! And remember, he still courageously offered to return the elections of governors?!

Applause in the studio.

In fact, the first question does not contradict the second. Simply, as was said in another book, according to which the mayor taught politics - the program is maximum and a minimum program.

Returning to Winnie the Pooh, from a purely environmental point of view, it must be admitted that along with the similarity features there are some distinction. Still, Winnie the Pooh is not a politician. Although, of course, an outstanding historical figure. He has his own animal conscience. As well as love and respect for an eternally immature audience. What are the qualities of a Soviet, eager and commanding person, apparently, completely lost in the painful process of evolution and adaptation to them the created state environment.

But he best in the world has learned to use a balloon - etheric PR. As a tool to satisfy pressing class needs. So, or something, does Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin?

By the way, they say, Darwin is 200 years old. With a holiday of you.

And to everyone who reproaches me for an evil face, I humbly answer: evolution tortured. Four generations on air, on a ball like an archangel, I am hanging. What a soft landing with a good smile. Again we rumble - mom, do not grieve.

Because such a unique civilization. Everyone around her is envious and afraid. Where are we going with a heel? Yes, all there.
