On the upcoming Saturday in the capital of the Urals, a demonstrative public rally will be held in support of Putin. According to the sources of Novaya Gazeta, it will mark the start of a new strategy developed at the headquarters of the deputy head of the presidential administration Vyacheslav Volodin.
On January 28, in Yekaterinburg, an event is planned that the leaders of the Prime Minister Putin are considered as a reference for a series of similar rallies for the entire pre-election and even post-election period. According to our sources in Yekaterinburg, local authorities began to prepare the upcoming manifestation immediately after the end of the New Year holidays.
After the New Year, surrounded by the deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Volodin, a number of documents were developed that consistently presented his view of the election work in the context of the new social situation created by Moscow opposition rallies in December. We are talking no less about the new strategy and interception of the initiative from the street opposition. The strategy has already been explained through plenipotentiary representatives of the President in federal districts and directly to the governors, and in the main looks like this.
In the field should ensure the maximum mobilization of Putin's supporters, which will result in mass movement in his support. The rallies of supporters are called upon to prevent us from an “orange revolution”. In the December mass protests at Putin’s headquarters, it was her. And they decided to give a worthy answer to the opposition where she showed herself: on the street.
The requirement passing through all installations is very interesting: such a movement should be formed by itself, without the administration , so to speak, as a result of the “living creativity of the masses”, as they said in the CPSU. But so that the masses do not become wandered, where it is not necessary, they will help them. The authorities obliged the regions to organize a series of mass rallies of their supporters, we can call this plan “Swamp Square, on the contrary”. As the plan is implemented, it will be announced that the national movement has already been formed.
The working name of the project is “ Putin - People's President” . At the rally, it is necessary to master the form of political manifestation as a city holiday with concert numbers and performances of local famous people, exclusively non -party. About 5 people in every city.
The first, a trial rally, in exact accordance with the plan of Volodin, was held in Kemerovo on January 24 , at 13.00 on the territory of the former Khimmash on 45 Tereshkova Street. Copying of the technology of the metropolitan opposition, the participants were recorded on social networks - more than 3,000. The organizers announced 5,000 participants.
According to our correspondent, people were brought by buses, outsiders were not allowed into the territory of the enterprise. This failure at the start of the campaign already indicates that the capabilities of the Volodin team are quite limited: to take thousands of real volunteers into the coded frost to the streets. The rally for the invitees was scheduled for 13-00, the motorcade with the car of V. Putin rushed around 14-00. And yet, at about 17-30, the Prime Minister appeared in front of the audience of several thousand Kuzbass people. Putin’s speech was brief - about 10 minutes, after which long and stormy applause followed.
At the same rallies, the people should formulate their slogans independent of the administration in support of Putin. But just in case, the list of slogans not shining in thought for a guideline that did not shine in thought has already been sent to the regions (it was the witty posterity of citizens who provided a lively discussion in the media at the December rallies). About the same: “He will return and figure it out!”, “The victory will be behind us!”, “With us - true!”. The most successful posters will be taken away for the following rallies.
At a rally in Yekaterinburg and subsequent public, according to Volodin’s plan, it should, without any administrative pressure, call on supporters of the authorities in the regions to gather for a final rally in Moscow on February 25 . There, activists will announce the final design of the People’s President. The Kremlin expects that in support of the authorities without the use of an administrative resource , from 70 to 100 thousand people will gather in their protection. At the same time, the parameters of the number “from” and “D” themselves in official documents can hardly be considered otherwise than the order responsible for the event for the event. Moreover, according to sources in the regions, they have already been launched by tasks - to determine the number of activists whom they will send to Moscow for the main rally.
In the event that after the election the situation requires, there will be manifestations after March 4. For example, if they are dissatisfied with their result, it is supposed to answer them - to bring Putin's supporters to stocks in all the most important regions of Russia. Recall that in December, attempts to contrast the manifestation of “ours” and other movements organized by the Kremlin to rallies of dissatisfied elections ended in complete Fiasco.
Rallies as an opposition response on February 4 are also planned to be organized in all regions where the Kremlin administration has opportunities. Thus, our readers will be able to evaluate these opportunities: from February 11 to 18, they promise us a whole series of manifestations. Mass agitation in the media, networks and outdoor advertising is guaranteed.
According to the stories of our sources, the Kremlin really hope for the work of the masses, the liberated consciousness of supporters of power and regional specifics, which will appear during rallies. In order for voters to realize that this is an amateur sincere movement, not only collectives of enterprises and departments, but representatives of all groups of the population, are ordered to gather there.
The participation of the middle class is especially important for Volodin. The regions and plenipotentiaries of the president, as well as the administration of the Presidential Administration, should also send their representatives to all cities. There is no doubt that they belong to the middle class.
They also talk about the ideology of the new movement, which the Kremlin intends to create as soon as possible. This is an organization of real, living supporters of Putin, who are interested in the continuation of his reign. As the values for which they are held, achievements are listed from his article in Izvestia. As well as justice, which in Russia is more than nobody, except Putin, to establish. From the story of our source, it turns out that the real alternative to Putin in these documents does not see Zyuganov or Prokhorov, but the complete and early destruction of Russia.
At the same time, the documents are replete with spells about voluntariness, rejection of coercion. For the credibility of such an assessment in the eyes of the people, the apparatus Volodin decided to refuse United Russia the right to be the organizer of these shares, which should be held without party symbols (we will not forget that the head of the party is Medvedev). At the same time, their members at rallies want to see with families as individuals. For mass, they plan to send people from city to city to toy rallies.
And even the governors with mayors (with the exception of the most popular) are asked not to lead these events - they are afraid that the poor attitude towards them will immediately switch to the attitude to Putin. All speakers are called to speak from the heart, without formalism and written blanks.
Plans, as obviously, are grandiose. If they are destined to be realized, we must notify state television about this in the near future. We will evaluate the results with readers.
